I so enjoyed this. It had me reeling with turmoil & I kept second guessing through the whole thing. The plot twists was written so well as well. & it does make you realize you don’t know a murderer even though you say “I’ll know one”. You really won’t.

“You’re not just some anything. You’re Pippa fricking Fitz-Amobi.”

I- Holy shit. I couldn't put this book down because it's so good!!!! I think the last 20% of the book really kept me on my toes. This was such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There's suspense, there's comedy, there's sad moments, and everything in between. I love that this book was fast paced and I did not find a single moment boring. This was a well-done mystery, and for someone who hasn't really read much of the genre this one was pretty enjoyable. It maybe predictable at times but it was exciting to read. The narration of the book was something I liked, too, with the switching between the third person's narration and Pip's logs and transcripts

I love Pip and her family so much, I love their dynamic. Ravi and Cara, my two besties, I love you. Ngl, I thought Ravi was the same age as them but apparently he's three years older lol. I really couldn't care less about the other characters (except the ones I previously mentioned and the Singhs) they can all burn in Hell.

This book was phenomenal, I personally loved annotating this book and trying to figure out what was going on alongside Pip's investigation. I loved all the twist and turns and I don't think they gave anything away too fast. This book really keeps you guessing.
