 Ravi and Pip were really wholesome together, escpecially all the teasing. I found it to be really tense and exciting from like half way through the book, sadly the first half seemed to be a little boring. Also the YA-writing style once again wasn't really for me, but on the other hand, I foud the violence to be pretty graphic for a YA book.

What also didn't make any sense at all was that Ravi knew about Pip getting stalked and everything and he legitimately didn't do anything about it. He could have prevented all the stuff that happened to her but somehow NO ONE did anything about the situation. I know that the Plot wouldn't have happened the same if he did something about it but it just made the book really unrealstic. I think the murder coverup also took way too long, it started to get boring.

Nonetheless I was excited and I had a good time with this last volume. I found that Holly Jackson made the story round up really well and created the lines back to Andie Bell etc.
