Notes:
- white savior up the wazoo. Are we not going to talk about racial profiling? No intersectional understanding of issues? No?
- slapstick diversity
- ring? Fancy? (Edit: my wife told me the author is from the UK which explains SO MUCH ffs)
- mc is an idiot masquerading as a Ivy League bound high schooler
- what high schooler is doing a CAPSTONE?
- what high schooler has time to do all the bananas sh*t unquestioned?
- HOW did the MC not end up dead with the batsh*t decisions to confront suspects ALONE
- Ethics is calling and they’d like to speak to the MC
-

loses a whole star for the dog dying. Absolutely unnecessary

-

so many things that needed an adult or authority intervention. Date r*pe? Drugs? Teachers getting involved with students? I mean are you serious? I know I’m old but I’m not THAT old

TL;DR: it was a quick, formulaic book with poor character development, questionable motives, and a heaping scoop of racial insensitivity.

Che dire, ottima lettura per uscire dal blocco. Intrattiene, i personaggi sono amabili e il tipo di narrazione rende il tutto più scorrevole. 🤌🏻

The book was very interesting and I liked the way it was formatted with the epq's. The only thing I found tedious was how the eventual reveal was written over so many chapters. It was a little bit too drawn out and then a sudden finish at the end.

After we found out that Elliot killed S, I felt we should have been told faster how Andi Bell was killed as it seemed like the tone was 'oh well happy days' and only Ravi and Pippa cared which is highly unrealistic.
