- C: the characters were well described & memorable, there were just a whole lot of relevant side characters, so that i lost track of who some of them were.
- A: was good, nothing outstanding
- W: i found it a bit confusing that it was in third person, but also a lot in first person when pippa wrote her epq
in the beginning the writing style felt very much for children. but overall i felt it was a great mix between being suitable for teens as well as adults. - P: at first i wasn't so sure if i liked it, but in the end the plot twists did really surprise me. sometimes there were things that were clear too me much before pippa caught them, for example when it was mentions, that naomi is now using a pre paid sim card because her phone is broken, that instantly rang all alarm bells for me but pippa didn't think anything of it till much later. on the other hand there were things i didn't catch at all until pippa mentioned them.
- I: at first it dragged a tiny bit and the writing style bothered me a bit. in the end i was really intrigued though.
- L: as mentioned above, something there were super obvious things, that pippa missed & sometimes she connected things that i wouldn't have seen her result as a logic conclusion. but over all there wasn't a big hole in the logic, that would have bothered me.
- E: i enjoyed this book more than i thought i would, but in the end, it is a book for teens.

The main character is awful. She's very underwritten and not fleshed out at all other than called "smart" and "quirky". I don't think I learned anything more about her from page 1 till the end, who she really was as a person. She engages in bad behavior such as blackmail, breaking and entering, theft, and manipulation of her friends in order to trick them into giving her answers, and never gets called out for it, to the extent you really have to raise your suspension of disbelief beyond reasonable levels. No one acts like a real person! They just spill all their secrets to a high schooler because the plot demands it.
I gave it a 2/5 stars, but only because I was able to finish it.
