ambernh1984's review against another edition
5.0
I was a little concerned at first since it's YA that it would be too juvenile, but it was fantastically written.
I loved Pip, her family, and her friendships with her friends. They seem like real people, with real background and traumas that aren't over the top, so you're able to relate to all of them. I also loved Ravi, and his humor that was added throughout.

I love that it seems Ravi and Pip are going to become a couple. They seemed to just click from the very beginning, so I'm interested to see where that goes!
Barney did NOT need to freaking die. That added nothing to the damn story, and as a person who is the same way with my dog, that broke my freaking heart!

The Plot in itself is excellent, super interesting and keeps you captivated and wanting to come back for more!
The only reason it isn’t a 4/4.5 star book for me is the writing. The writing is very basic, a 10 year old could read it(for the most part) and whilst also keeping in mind it is Y/A so language and everything isn’t going to be too complex but i think it still could have been greatly improved.
The writing particularly became a problem for me with the characterisation of Pippa, I really wanted to like her and i can see how to some people she would be a very likeable character but she just annoyed me.
Overall a really easy fun read, just would’ve liked something written a tad better :)
