overall a very good book! the way the author told the story as a reporter and high school student was very interesting. however, it felt longer than it needed to be.

i want to rate it higher but i can't bc of the 20 year old and 17 year old relationship. idk if things are different in britain (where the author lives) but that's um... yeah no.

This was so addictive and intense! While I didn’t love the final reveals, the rest of the story was so amazing that I can’t possibly give this anything less than 5⭐️. Pip and Ravi are a duo I didn’t know I needed. I cannot wait to pick up the sequel.
