A bit long and all the reveals happened at the very end. It would have been better to spread out the content more or make the book shorter.
Pip is a complicated character and not always the most loveable but she makes a good protagonist and a large point of the book is that nobody is good or bad, Pip fits into this really well.

I did like the book; it was a quick read with short chapters and very fast-paced. it was just a little too nancy drew-y for me. I’ve had agggtm recommended to me sooo much that I was just expecting more, I guess. overall, enjoyable, but there just weren’t the unexpected twists and turns and jaw-dropping moments that I enjoy in thrillers.

This book was such an intense journey. I ended up reading this in one day because I could not put it down. I was stressing along with Pip and Ravi to find out who really killed Andie Bell. There were so many twists and turns that were fascinating to read, and I am so glad I read this book. It actually got me back on a crime binge again—I m already hoping to get the next book.
