I feel like a dead dog trigger warning would have been nice but Libby lapsed and after that I didn’t want to pick it back up.

Really enjoyed this! super easy read and interesting plot to keep you hooked.

The Plot in itself is excellent, super interesting and keeps you captivated and wanting to come back for more!

The only reason it isn’t a 4/4.5 star book for me is the writing. The writing is very basic, a 10 year old could read it(for the most part) and whilst also keeping in mind it is Y/A so language and everything isn’t going to be too complex but i think it still could have been greatly improved.

The writing particularly became a problem for me with the characterisation of Pippa, I really wanted to like her and i can see how to some people she would be a very likeable character but she just annoyed me.

Overall a really easy fun read, just would’ve liked something written a tad better :)
