First of all, I really loved how this book was written with Pip's journal/notes making up a large part of the writing. The way the book was narrarated was incredibly real and nothing about the characters, setting or plot felt fake or forced at all.
Second of all, the plot twists and writing through out the novel gave me shivers multiple times. It was scary at times and I loved it!
This book was not slow at all amd as I mentioned before, it had me from the first page till the end, which did not disappoint.
I definitely would recommend this book to anyone, regardless of their experience with murder, crime or mystery novels! It's amazing!

I started this book right around midnight, and I am finishing at 6 in the morning. I could not stop reading this book. The mystery was so well written. It had so many twists to the story. I annotate my mystery books, and I write in the books my thoughts and theories throughout reading the book. I did start to piece things together of what happened. However, there were enough breadcrumbs and shroud of doubt that I was still surprised with the ending.
I really like that while reading this, I would have a conclusion about a piece of evidence, and Pip would be drawing those same conclusions on the next page. The main character she didn't feel like a moron. It really felt like both the MC and I were putting together the puzzle and figuring it out together. There was no missing very obvious piece of evidence. It was really well written for a mystery novel.
The ending of the book was really sad. It wasn't so clear-cut about who the bad guys were and their villainous reasons. The crime wasn't sensationalized. It felt like something that could absolutely happen in any town.
I really appreciated a mystery book that was about the mystery. There were cute family moments, cute friend moments, and cute romancey moments, but that didn't overpower the fact that this book was about a mystery and stayed true to that. It always sucks reading a mystery book where the middle 150 pages are about the main character missing her boyfriend or something when you just want to be focused on the mystery.
