This book was very good and well written but I have to give it a 2 star rating. This is because the murder  was too disturbing and I don't think I am going to read another murder mystery but I do recommend it if you can handle murder scenes.

I devoured this book, I was so inside of the story that I couldn’t stop myself. I loved the characters so much and Holly Jackson’s writing is immaculate, the way she doesn’t forget about any detail, as small as it may seem, to get you tangled into her story. 
Every part of this book felt so real, it had me at the edge of my seat at all times, wondering and asking myself questions constantly. 
The banter between Pippa and Ravi was excellent, and I may have even laughed out loud at one of his jokes, bad as they were. 
This book scared me and made me laugh, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. 4.75/5⭐️

This book has been on my tbr for such a long time, I'm so glad that I finally got to it! I'm also happy that I waited until i could read the whole series because I devoured this over a few days!

fast-paced

3.0

I dunno, this has definitely been overhyped but it was a pretty good mystery overall. I don’t love

that Ravi and Pip ended up together mostly because of the age difference it just felt too much for me

I also didn’t really like

the way Mr ward was involved it just felt sooo far fetched

Im interested enough that I want to listen to the rest of the series and watch the show though.
