personal review notes:
C 8/10
A 7/10
W 6/10
P 8/10
I 7/10
L 5/10
E 6/10
-> 6.7/10
-> 3 stars
- 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.

4.5
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.

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

4.0
The idea of a high school student reopening a murder that happened five years ago to prove the killer didn’t do it for her senior capstone project, pulled me in and kept me there right away. I could not figure it out for the life of me who did it right until the very end. I do recommend checking the content warnings because there are some big ones for this.
Overall a compelling and gripping ya thriller mystery!
