Total page turner! Holly Jackson delivered suspense, plot twists, compassion for trauma, and teen romance, all at once. I jumped into the sequel the same day I finished this.

4.75

I only put 4.75 instead of 5 because there some of the topics included are of mature nature, but handled well by Jackson. Jackson weaves many parts together in a way that is congruent and flowing. Happy that I was able to track and figure it out.

I inhaled this book in only two days bc i was so captivated by it.
It was very well written und the plot was so clear that i always understood what Pip was discovering yet again. 
In the middle it was a LITLLE slow bc it was just one new realisation after another. But than there came some big plot twists and everything was soo tense again until the very last page.
Plus I really liked the characters (she still had both partents lol) and she was kinda funny and relatable (even so she's a huge workaholic). I also liked Ravi and their chemistry <3

Wow, this book really lived up to the hype. It was like a mish-mash of true crimes stories I’ve heard about meets Twin Peaks. The podcast format with a full-cast narration made for an excellent audio listen and the fast-paced intriguing reveals had me speeding through this one. I’ll definitely continue on with this series, although after this ending, I’ll be curious to see where it continues.
