3.5

from the start i knew this book was gonna be a 5 stars read for me. the writing is so simple yet so effective. it had a grip on me and i loved it. the twists were widening my eyes, making my breath hitch and the tension made my chest tight and heartbeat fast. i lived this book, at least it feels like that. like i lived with the characters, characters which were exceptionally written and i loved. i truly cared for them and their well being or in some cases hated and despised them. this story was so wild and so fun to read. made me cry when

barney died.

.
im glad the book wasnt just: murder, death, clues, betrayal. there were some sweet moments in there too, pip with her friends or with her family. it was like a little break and i loved that.

i recommend this book to everyone whos looking for a great mystery with plot twists you cant expect.

Oh.My.GOD. This book is a literal masterpiece and I’m so glad I finally picked it up because it’s been sitting on my shelf for almost a year.
