Very excellent YA thriller. I clocked the killer pretty early on and one twist BUT it was still riveting and so fun. I downloaded it to keep me busy while running and then I went and barreled through it far too quickly. There are A LOT of trigger warnings - I’m tagging them all on StoryGraph

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.

Detective stories aren’t my genre. But this thing was incredible!!! I wasn’t sure about the format and as I said even the genre when I started but it was on our book club challenge. It took a little time but the way this story GRABBED me by the neck and didn’t let go was unreal! I stayed up till 2 am listening to it and had it on 1,75 speed just cause I couldn’t bare to not know what happened next faster!! Seriously even if this isn’t what you usually go for give it a try. This book might’ve convinced me to read more detectives stories!

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.
