i want to rate it higher but i can't bc of the 20 year old and 17 year old relationship. idk if things are different in britain (where the author lives) but that's um... yeah no.

This was so addictive and intense! While I didn’t love the final reveals, the rest of the story was so amazing that I can’t possibly give this anything less than 5⭐️. Pip and Ravi are a duo I didn’t know I needed. I cannot wait to pick up the sequel.

AHHHH THIS WAS SO GOOD. THE HYPE IS TOTALLY VALID. READ THIS NOW, AND ESPECIALLY BEFORE THE NETFLIX SERIES IS OUT!! 
this is one of the books where I keep asking myself why I haven't read it before? What kept me waiting?? I missed out on this for so long! 
Also Ravi and Pip? I'm in LOVE WITH THEM. AND WE WERE ROBBED OF A FIRST KISS SCENE!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 3 MONTHS LATER! And Victor's humor??? Josh copying that humor?? Grade A! Had I not read a spoiler, I would never have guessed who the killer was. This was so good. I expected the novel to end on a cliffhanger for the second part, but it was surprisingly concluded now I'm even more scared for what's to come haha.
I also loved the diverse cast, it felt so real, and so delightfully BRITISH. I love small town murder mysteries. I love being shown transcripts, chats, pictures and murder maps. Pls more books like this.

Holly Jackson took the question „if the romance wasn’t part of the book anymore, would there still be a plot?“ way to seriously and the romance is the smallest part of the novel. 

But apart of this cute little love side story, this book is filled with great relationships, well developed characters, thrilling events that aren’t far fetched at all and a chapter concept that guarantees a one of a kind reading flow. 

Would highly recommend this young adult thriller and already feel exited for the second book!
