Personally, I loved how Holly Jackson was able to mislead the reader into thinking they knew who the killer was, while leaving sneaky clues leading to the real killer the whole time. The perfect example of this was when David and Stanley were seen by Pip and Ravi outside the town meeting while they were arguing. I was so sure they had something to do with the case. However, I did find it extremely inappropriate for Pip and Ravi to have a relationship in the end since Pip is a 17-year-old teenage girl who's in high school and Ravi is a 20-year-old man. Overall, Holly really outdid herself with this murder mystery book and I'm excited to see what will come next of this story.Graphic: Drug use, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, Bullying, Death, Drug abuse, Kidnapping, Emotional abuse, and Racism

The audiobook only added to my reading experience with this book as it is a full cast audiobook but it also has phone calls as actual phone calls, when Pip is reading from her case notes, you can hear the movement of paper, when she records conversations, you can hear the equipment whirring and beeping etc. The audiobook was a fully immersive experience and it was brilliant.
