most intense book in this brilliant series
But:I think the plot was predictable 😅Still a 5⭐️ read tho 
The way Ravi only took 3!!!! Minutes to text her is so cute!They‘re definetly made for each other and I was sooo scared for her the whole time.
If she doesn‘t get in prison they‘re definetly gonna stay together!
Thanks Holly 
For this incredible,incredible
Series ❤️

An absolute character assassination of one of my favorite MCs. Wish I hadn’t read this last book and stopped at GGBB. Yeah. This was not it Queen Holly. 

Also

after the Andie email reveal about someone in the house with her being DT, how did Pip immediately not go to Jason. Like actually. Let’s think about how intuitive and efficient Pip was with clues/evidence in the first two books…i get that she had a lot going on in this book if you know what I mean but ffs girl. you’re THE murder girl. Still love this series and author. Just disappointed with this read

4.5

Woah what an ending! I was very attached to this series and a bit overwhelmed with this finale.. This book consists of two "unofficial" halfs. In the first half Pip deals with herself and what happened in the past

which includes her having panic attacks, being dependent on drugs for her sleep and being  a traumatized teenager.

. This part was very realistic but also very hard to get through. Pip tries to deal with everything by herself and shuts down her honest relationships.

Half way through, this whole coin flips and the pacing starts picking up. I really can´t tell you what´s about to happen but it´s intense and quite disturbing. We still get the most lovely interactions between Ravi and Pip which melts my heart just thinking about it. I really liked the topics that were indirectly questioned like morality and justice.

I´ll keep it short: I was really suprised by the twists, turns and details, maybe it was a little bit crazy but I guess that´s the vibe. Didn´t loved reading the beginning because of the topics which made it hard to get into the book but overall enjoyed it!
