Holly Jackson took the question „if the romance wasn’t part of the book anymore, would there still be a plot?“ way to seriously and the romance is the smallest part of the novel. 

But apart of this cute little love side story, this book is filled with great relationships, well developed characters, thrilling events that aren’t far fetched at all and a chapter concept that guarantees a one of a kind reading flow. 

Would highly recommend this young adult thriller and already feel exited for the second book!

A fun, mysterious novel with a fascinating plot and interesting twists and turns. Clearly aimed at a younger audience but still a fun read that keeps you interested.

I cried, laughed, smiled and scowled all at the same book and then went straight onto the next book after it, it was just that good. I had heard many amazing things about this book, but had never picked it, not thinking I would enjoy it as I don't normally read murder mystery and thrillers. But boy was I wrong this was definitely one of my favorite books this year maybe even to this day. Completely loved this book.

The best part of this story is just when you think you've figured something out, you're suddenly hit with about 5 left turns that'll leave you confused and frustrated.

4.5

If I were a critic, I'd say Pippa is a contradictory of her own description of personality. Smart, bright, 'good' girl, yet she lacks common sense, or rather just has no sense of danger whatsoever, despite being an avid true crime podcast listener. One might say it's because her need to prove herself. I both love & hate that it keeps me guessing, and when I felt like I know for sure what actually happened, it just crashed all my theories.
But because I'm just a normal reader, and I rate books based on how much I enjoyed them, I'm giving this 9/10⭐. Couldn't put it down, delayed days of sleep to read more chapters. Can't wait to read the next one. If not for the plot, for Ravi Singh. (& Salil Singh)
