This book had me on the edge of my seat. i wanted to reach into it and shake some sense into them tbh.

there's nothing more nervewracking to me than watching a character build a web of lies. i was genuinely more anxious when pip was doing that than when she was abducted.

i had heard both very good and very bad things about this book before reading it, and i saw that someone said that this didn't fit the characters. to which i would say it absolutely does. pip is not the slightly naïve "good girl" anymore. she is traumatised, has lost so much that mattered to her, she has ptsd

(and a drug addiction thanks to that).

she has been failed by the police before. this developement makes perfect sense, even if it's not what we'd wish for her.

It's so hard to put all my thoughts into words. I would definitely say I liked the first 2 so much better. What Pip did at the 60% mark had my jaw on the floor, but not in a good way. SHe didn't have

to kill him. She just didn't. She could have gone to the police, she could have just run, she could have done so many other things. But kill him brutally? No. She was completely blinded by all the pain she's had to endure. It also bothered me how there were so many people she could have reached out to for help with dealing with her trauma. But she chose to shut everyone, even Ravi, out. Plus, the police's complete denial that anything was happening felt like it was done for the plot, not because that would really happen.

I need to go read a happy rom-com or something light after this book. I would say this was my least favorite, considering all the twisting of justice in this book. You can't justify Pip or Ravi's actions to me. Will forever love the first two books but this one is not for me.
