I'm so annoyed that this never came on my radar when I was a kid because I would have absolutely devoured it. Have I still devoured it in my twenties (instead of revising for my uni exams)? Absolutely I have!

It was surprisingly entertaining. I loved the character of Agatha, but Sophie was so irritating. Which I supposed is kind of the point. The side characters were interesting and well-written, too, and really made the story.

Definitely need to read the rest of the series. Maybe when I don't have exams though...

I think this one was good, i mainly read it since it was my favorite book as a kid. I love agatha and hate sophie which is why i think both characters were written well.

This is a brilliant book 100% recommend. The only thing is it can be a little confusing as the prospective changes between the 2 main characters which can be confusing. But it’s still an amazing book.
