Plot wise, all the typical murder mystery things happens in this book - false leads, alot of messed up people in a small town, death threats etc. But this book shines with the creativity of the writing styles - we had diary entries, interview transcripts, hand drawn diagrams that Pip drew. It was just really fun to read.Ā
Like I mentioned earlier, Pip was the reason why I enjoyed the book as much as I did. I loved her character and nervous rambling quirk haha. I have to talk about Ravi because he was so pure, nice and loyal. His character was everything I didn't think I needed in a character.Ā
The ending of this book was a little disappointing to me. I just hoped that the ending wouldn't be like PLL -
So overall, it was a nice thriller, murder mystery book. It wasn't something ground breaking or different. But it was still an enjoyable read.Ā
