bestie put pip through the mf RINGER in this one and i’m not sure i’ll ever emotionally recover. incredibly well-written + well-paced, can’t wait to read as good as dead even faster than i did the first two.

Originally I was going to give this 4 stars, but the ending really caught me off guard! I loved how parts of the first book weaved through this one while it also still stood apart as it’s own mystery. I cannot wait to get my hands on the third book!

ok so i LOVE this book, debating 5 stars bc it's just THAT good but there was some experimental text placement on the end that I hated. I think I can live with it though

It started a bit slower than the first book in the trilogy but definitely made up for that at the end. Again just an amazing book with so many twists.

This was good but definitely not as good as the first. This book felt slightly slower paced, and it took longer for plot twists to appear. I did love the character development of Pip and she really did come into her own as the protagonist. It was nice to see some of the background characters in the first book, get more of a main storyline. I am interested to see where it goes in the next book.
