This was a fast-paced young-adult mystery/thriller.  Seeing how they changed it from a book set in England to one here in the states was amusing.

i really liked this book, it was really well done and i like that it was mostly not predictable

i did not expect andie’s sister to have been the killer and especially not for her to try and kill pip too!

one of my few grievances with this book was ravi and pip’s relationship. i thought they had a very nice friendship i just wish it hadn’t had some romantic undertones throughout.

i felt that ravi and pip ending up in a romantic relationship was completely unnecessary. it added nothing to the story and they met when she was 17 and he had graduated high school already which makes it a little icky
