The last 2.5 hours saved the book for me. Incredibly slow paced and I found myself very frustrated with Pip on more than one occasion. Even though I’m not convinced this book isn’t sponsored by DARE… the plot twists at the end were very solid. 

I do think I would’ve enjoyed the first 50 percent of the book more if I’d read it before I started grappling with the ethics of true crime.
