Finally finished this series! There is actually a Netflix TV show out now and I’m so excited to watch it!! Honestly, the first book in the series was like literal cracked to me. I was obsessed and I believe I read it one sitting, but the following books have kind of been hit or miss. This last book in the series was just okay… honestly nothing special. I definitely think it could have been shorter. I wasn’t very fond of the ending at all. I think the whole concept of falsely imprisoning someone for a crime they didn’t commit is so messed up. I just couldn’t get behind even though the dude was horrible. I feel like it would’ve been a better storyline if they had just had him sent to prison for what he actually did through a retrial or something, it may be an even better twist to have Pip and up in prison. Idk, the ending plot definitely rubbed me the wrong way, which is why I’m rating it a 3/5 ⭐️
