I loved this book, I read most of it in one sitting and I was sad when I got to the end. I thought that the premise of the book was super unique and interesting. The way the chapters were laid out with the 'production logs' was really fun and I liked that they weren't just for show and you actually learnt stuff that was relevant to the plot through them. I spent the entire book trying to figure out who the murderer was and I want to reread the book and see how many bits of foreshadowing I can spot now I know the ending. I will say though that

Spoiler

I'm not sure I can forgive the author for killing the dog

.

I'm really glad that the writer has more books in this series and I can't wait to get my hands on them!

This was an amazing book and I really enjoyed it. The plot twists were believable but not particularly foreseeable, and the pacing was really nice!

I loved the use of multi media pieces, it made the read so much more fun! Like all YA mystery novels, it's definitely a tad implausible that two teens solved a 5 year old murder mystery, but that doesn't really matter. The story itself is very good, an easy and fun read!

alinefigueira's review against another edition

3.0

a poor version of the game life is strange (man, I will play it again sometime)

obs to future me, when deciding to read the rest of the series 

- until 85%, it was amazing, so intertainig and catching 

- since the beginnin I knew what was up with ravi and it was bad

- it didn't sumarize all the gossip properly at the end, which makes me mad, that's an ick 

- I didn't like the final reveal, the book build up to something better, it had no flavor (and even sense?) to me

- if the main caracther had a song it would be 🎶dumb ways to die🎶

- the book has questionable morals (lying to keep personal interests, promoting no respect to law...)
