Honestly this book should come with a bunch of content warnings with sad and depressing in bold, block red letters. Holly Jackson has managed to create a masterpiece of a story about a case that turned cold five years ago that it would be a shame not to give this 5 ⭐️ This was insanely good! I apologize for taking so long to get into this and suffice to say I am not the same person as i was before reading this and no amount of therapy can make me forget this book ruined me. With all my love and appreciation, I hope Holly knows she should sleep with one eye open at night for what she did to me <3

Absolutely stunning book by Holly Jackson! I was skeptical at first with the whole idea of reading a book tok book especially since its been talked about so much. Yet here I am giving it a 5⭐️ for how good it is. 

Let's talk about the main idea of the book. The book was giving everything it needed.  A little bit if thrill, mystery and of course the magnificent Ravi Singh<3 

I loved how this was different than most books where they actually included logs of the conversations between suspects and the MC which I found very interesting and was actually intrigued by it. 

This book had so many plot twist that even I can't comprehend 💀

Pippa Fitz deserves all the love she can get. Her character was extremely well written and one of the most loveable character there is.

Ravi Singh!!! THIS MAN IS SO FREAKING CUTE. Although he's been through so much yet he's still so positive driven and absolutely adorable. 
" How can you resist I'm ravishing, get it Ravi Singh?"

This was a fast-paced young-adult mystery/thriller.  Seeing how they changed it from a book set in England to one here in the states was amusing.

Im not a mystery gal but when i saw one of my friends read this and enjoyed i just had to. This book was phenomenal. I was glued to it and definitely helped me recover from my sad reading slump. It makes me want to read the whole shebang again 

<spoiler warning>
When they went into her house and you saw Andie’s room i just felt the tiniest bit sorry . Even after all the horrible stuff she did at the end of the day she was still somebodys daughter and the rest of the family did not deserve her

<spoiler warning > 
 Also the dog thing was uncalled for. That sent shivers up my spine. 


<spoiler warning> 
Ok but the Ravi and pip relationship was just AEHSHSB GORGEOUS the vocabulary and the way they are mates and when Ravi goes don't worry im her when pip is upset is just again ABUD DNZ CHEFS KISS
