Just when you think you’ve got it solved, scratch it out and realize youve got it all wrong. This was so well written! I tried to come to my own conclusions and making my own suspect list alongside Pips and I still got the ending wrong! I found myself stuck to this book

This was incredible. I don't often read thrillers, but this drew me in and would not let go. I stayed up until 3am to finish it.

I first watched the TV show (which spurred me to then read the book) and this was no disappointment! I liked it a lot and I enjoyed the notable differences and added depth that came with the book!

I don't typically read a lot of YA stories/stories with high school aged main characters, so I was worried this wouldn't keep my attention but I listened to the audiobook and think it was a great listen. The story flowed very nicely, not too fast or slow, there were a lot of clues to think about, and I couldn't help but love the main characters. Can't wait to read the next ones in the series and try to watch the tv series!
