I VERY much enjoyed! A great murder mystery book that has A LOT of different layers. Only gave it a 4.5/5 because a dog dies & there a few unrealistic aspects. Still an EXCELLENT read though!

This rating and review is on the audiobook. The narrators were good, though some sound fairly similar or as if they were the male voice of Pip's narrator. There were parts where the writing was odd, unrealistic that it made me cringe out loud. The mystery was definitely enticing with an ending that was not expected.

I truly don’t understand how this book has so many 5-star ratings but I’m just hoping it encourages them to read more in the genre to actually find the 5-star ones. 🩵 this book was VERY Y.A. (didn’t know that before I got it) full of privilege and ignorance. So perfectly teen. I wanted to read it before watching the series but I feel like the series will probably be better than the book? Idk but also

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO BARNEY LIKE THAT?!?! 😩😩😩
