personally i really liked the switch between pip's logs and her third person pov. other than being a little torn about how the ending played out, i had fun reading it and sometimes that's all that matters

Holyyyyyy. This book was so good. It was a gripping page turner the whole way through. You're going to think everyone is a murderer in this book! I loved how the book was set up like a real research project with short chapters in between & even some pictures of maps & journal pages. I loved some of the characters, loathed others, felt bad for a lot of them. This book just checked every box in terms of the kinds of characters in it. I also loved that this book wrapped up really nice even though there are two more in the series! I'd give this book alllllllllll the stars if I could!

This whole book was a really good time and I couldn't stop reading, I was completely hooked! 

And then the ending happened and I was bored lol. But overall, it was a damn good story with great characters, just with an ending that leaves you just a bit bothered. Still, overall the plot was good enough for me to want to read the next one.

I could not put it down. I loved the budding romance between Ravi and Pippa (I kind of wish the age gap was a little closer just because she’s in high school). I loved the complexity of how the murders occurred especially since  Andie knew/had a lot of secrets. 

Spoiler

I knew that Mr.Ward was the secret boyfriend and that Becca was involved in the murder. However, I thought the reporter and drug dealer were involved on it too. I can’t believe Becca killed her dog/she tried to kill Pippa. That’s fucked.
