somehow this was even better listening to the audiobook??? I’ve never gotten through an audiobook so quickly. I’ve set a new personal record!!! that’s what happens when you spend the entire day crocheting I suppose.

my only issue with this is how unrealistic it felt at times (mainly when it came to suspects casually confessing things they probably shouldn’t be to a random high school student), hence why my rating is slightly lower than it was when I first read it (where it was a 4.75). apart from that, I’m back in my agggtm era and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

also pipravi my beloveds <3

(yes I deleted my old review because um what was that??? 😀)

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!

Fun and tense mystery novel. Definitely a darker YA book with mentions of some heavy topics, all within the scope of a murder mystery. Felt inspired by the Seriel Podcast and other murder podcasts with its unique writing techniques.

This book genuinely broke my brain. The plot twists at the end?? They hit you like a TRUCK. I had CHILLS in the reveal. 10/10 book, I WISH I could re-read it for the first time again.
