This was SO good! Although I figured out loosely the whodunnit side fairly early, I still had a great time seeing it all come together and figuring out the missing pieces. I love books like this for making you think about how it happened, but also about why the characters did what they did. I loved Pip and Ravi, they were so sweet together (even if we don’t really get to see them together). The format with the production logs sometimes made me lose interest a little because I wanted to keep reading the story part, but they were still interesting to see how Pip was piecing things together and gave vital information. I really loved this book and want more
