It was okay I guess? I enjoyed the Pretty Little Liars / Cruel Summer vibes, mostly meaning that our mc is getting herself in every possible dangerous sitation and absolutely refuses to talk to anyone who could help. And there is this wannabe Alison DiLaurentis character. The case and the plot twists just were super basic and I never really got invested in the mystery. Not as boring as Five Survive though. I'm not the target audience anyway.

Listened to German translation on spotify.

(Side note, how dumb is it that there is an americanised version?)

I finished this book in less than a day. I’ve been in a reading slump for a while, and this is the first one I’ve picked up in a long time that I absolutely could not put down. The characaters were realistic and lovable and so easy to empathize with that it feels like you’re really stepping into the story and unraveling the mystery alongside them. I kept going back and rereading clues throughout the book to try and figure out the plot twist, but I still hadn’t guessed it by the end. The book handles sensitive themes in a way that both shows respect to victims and uses them as a major plot point to draw the readers in. I absolutely can’t wait to read the sequel.

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
