This book has been very hyped up by booktok so I didn't have a lot of faith in it and I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. That being said, I finished this book in 5 hours I simply needed to know how it ended.
The book was really more plot focused than it was character focused but I loved Pip as our main character, she was funny and incredibly intelligent and I enjoyed seeing how her mind worked as I read through all her notes on the case. Ravi also made the story really fun and added humor when the story got really tense. The side characters that had a major role in the story were all interesting as well, and I'm glad we got to explore some of their lives and personalities.
The plot was very interesting and it wasn't too predictable. It kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to know more as I desperately tried to put the puzzle pieces together along with Pip. Every time she got another clue or found another loose end in the case I went through all the events in my head and mentally noted potential suspects. Also, the big reveals at the end ?? With there being two murderers completely unaware of what the other had done ?? Absolutely genius I genuinely didn't see it coming.
I thought I would get bored as the story progressed but it never happened. It was captivating to the very end and I'm so happy I finally got around to reading it.
