This book is bussin. Took me a minute to get into it. I haven’t been on a fiction kick in a hot minute, but I can honest to goodness tell you I was hooked after page 67. When Pip shares her four theories of the murder, I knew I’d finish the book before the day was over

I have read this book multiple times and each time I find more to admire. It keeps me almost in an entranced state because it’s just so powerful. I would highly recommend.

Definitely a five star read. I loved every second of the book. The plot had me so invested and the characters were just ahhh. You won’t regret reading this.
Also Cara is just the best character

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.
