First of all, I really loved how this book was written with Pip's journal/notes making up a large part of the writing. The way the book was narrarated was incredibly real and nothing about the characters, setting or plot felt fake or forced at all.
Second of all, the plot twists and writing through out the novel gave me shivers multiple times. It was scary at times and I loved it!
This book was not slow at all amd as I mentioned before, it had me from the first page till the end, which did not disappoint.
I definitely would recommend this book to anyone, regardless of their experience with murder, crime or mystery novels! It's amazing!

While solving the murder itself was engaging, I think the characterization was lacking. Pip has no discernible qualities besides an insatiable need to solve crime, and there’s no compelling motivation for why she is this way besides that she always felt like something was off about the case. Her friendship with Ravi was endearing on the surface, but it had no substance to get me emotionally invested.
