i thoroughly enjoyed this book! it was recommended to me by a friend of mine and i had quite high hopes on it - which were absolutely met! it was incredibly well-written with strong, amazingly crafted characters, a great storyline and incredible plot points. i had a love-hate-relationship with the fact that it took me incredibly long to figure out who the murderer is because i'm usually quite good at that. but i must say, it took the authors quite a while to drop the hints as to who the murderer is...and when they started doing so, it was quite obvious who it was. that's actually the only issue i have here, but it was a great read altogether.

That was a fun read. Loved the two protagonists and their interactions a lot. A little sad the side characters in the friends group were not equally fleshed out, there is definitely potential for future installments though. The same applies to the plot. It wasn't anything special, just a messy murder investigation. I liked some fresh approaches to the amateur investigation methods, but in the end, there wasn't enough of it for my taste. And it was pretty obvious to me who the murderer was, so... yeah. But I loved the writing. Not only the way Alice's and Iris' friendship progressed, but also the use of social media. It was really well done.

wow, that book definitely exceed my expectations. I didn't know whether to give it a 4 or 3.75 stars. 

i loved the ending, I did not see that coming at all. 

(i just wish that at the end we had more than just a sentence between Iris and Cole tho, they would've been cute together)
