omg. i have never needed to finish reading a book so badly in my life. i actually stayed up later to read more of it (not finish it - i was sleepy), which i have never done before. it was quick-paced, but was still set out in a way that meant i could try to figure out the crime alongside Pippa (some of which i actually got right!). another thing i really liked but doesn't matter is that actual handwriting was used when a character wrote stuff down, rather than a handwriting-like font.

rereading it for the new series, and realizing why I fell in love with the trilogy in the first place. Holly Jackson wrote these characters perfectly, and left me shocked with the plot twist.

I usually don’t leave book reviews but this book blew everything I thought I am so I might ass well change this. I’ve read tons upon tons of great books but this was another level of great. There is a twist within every page and the way the pieces fall together is beyond immaculate. There’s light humor but also heartbreaking scenes (still crying). Over all one of the top 3 books I’ve read all year. I’m telling my children this is a Nancy Drew book.

Holly Jackson took the question „if the romance wasn’t part of the book anymore, would there still be a plot?“ way to seriously and the romance is the smallest part of the novel. 

But apart of this cute little love side story, this book is filled with great relationships, well developed characters, thrilling events that aren’t far fetched at all and a chapter concept that guarantees a one of a kind reading flow. 

Would highly recommend this young adult thriller and already feel exited for the second book!

omg i  loved pip. my true crime loving self absolutely loved this book. even though in some parts seemed unrealistic, who cares i read to be entertained lol. following along with the case and getting everything slowly pieced together from different perspectives was everything and when i thought the story and mystery was over i got more questions answered and a very fulfilling ending. i love this style of writing with the timeline being pieces together slowly so everything come together perfect at the end. kinda reminded me of pretty little liars alison tbh and that’s a compliment. the character depth of all the characters and especially andie was fascinating and discovering more and more abt andie was so fun. also, pip and ravi are the perfect partners in crime🫶 excited to start “good girl, bad blood”!!
