This book was a random read to get into the fall feels, and it did not disappoint.
The main characters were the perfect mix of serious and unserious in all the best ways, and even the secondary characters that make up the friends and family of Pippa were perfect. Ravi and Pippa are a perfect pairing, and I can't wait to see what mystery they'll solve next. 
The story itself was a great crime/thriller while still holding onto that YA feeling. I spent the whole time trying to distinguish who to trust and who could have possibly done the crime we didn't even know was actually committed. I'm happy with the ending and found it to be realistic and not super outlandish and convoluted like a lot of murder/crime-centric media usually is. 
And in the midst of reading, I found out it's getting made into a series, so I'll be on the lookout for that. Off to the next Pippa and Ravi adventure.


Crying score: ugh yes

P.S. read the TWs there are a lot, so it is important to be informed.

This book doesn't waste any time. It dives right in exactly where it promises it will take you. There's rarely any slow moments, and each plot twist and big reveal happens at the perfect time. The pieces of the mystery puzzle are complex and well thought out, but also easy to read through and very entertaining. And of course, I always love a fun unique writing style and this book definitely gives you a lot of that, and in an easy way that really helps you keep track of what's happening. This was an absolute blast to read, and I can't wait for more.
