ok unpopular opinion: i preferred this book over the 1st one.
I like the mystery in this one a lot more, I felt like it played out in an interesting way.

Kinda slow in the beginning but once it really got going it was a great time.
I liked Pip's character development throughout. I wish Ravi did a bit more! I kinda miss their duo energy, he felt a bit like an assistant in this.

Lauren and Ant can go suck an egg.

Spoiler WHEN PIP POURED A DRINK ON TOM, PUSHED ANT INTO LOCKERS AND VANDALISED MAX'S HOUSE AFTER LEAKING HIS CONFESSION... QUEEN SHIT I TELL U


Spoiler Charlie's plan is ruined if Child Brunswick is happily married tho

Ho amato le indagini di questo secondo volume tanto quanto il primo: fin dalle prime pagine mi sono sentita coinvolta e in ansia di risolvere il caso insieme a Pip. 
Ho apprezzato che stavolta si sia trattato di uno sforzo di gruppo, con gli amici di Pip e il pubblico del podcast in egual modo coinvolti nella ricerca di Jamie. Mi spiace solo che il personaggio di Ravi sia stato meno presente stavolta, lui era stato forse il mio preferito nel primo volume e avrei voluto vederlo al fianco di Pip un po' di più. 
La scrittura di Holly Jackson non ha una prosa particolare, ha uno stile sufficiente, ma è brava a disseminare indizi e a tenere alta l'attenzione di chi legge. Sa sorprendere, utilizzando anche elementi non banali per risolvere i casi. 
Nel primo volume mi aveva infastidito solo la sua incapacità di chiudere i capitoli, che avevano sempre un ché di anticlimatico, ma qui per fortuna ho riscontrato il problema molto di meno. Penso che l'autrice sia migliorata nell'imbastire la struttura dei capitoli.
In generale mi sono divertita moltissimo, come stessi guardando un episodio di Veronica Mars, e davvero non vedo l'ora di leggere l'ultimo romanzo della saga.

I really enjoy this series and thought this was a great sequel. I loved the addition of the podcast, and as always I loved the formatting of the book. Super easy and quick to read with all the different file types, keeps it interesting too. This one reminded me of the crime junkie podcast and only murders in the building on Hulu, which I love both. I liked Pip more in this book, I can see a lot of change in her character from the beginning of the first book to the end of the second book. The most thought provoking part of this book for me came at the end, with a large morality question; this is pretty defining for pips character. I was also happy to see some loose ends from Book 1 tied up. Lastly, I also enjoy Holly Jackson’s writing style and intend to pick up the other books in this series as well of more of her other works.
