LOVED IT!! it was so much darker than the first one.

I listened to it as an audiobook and I LOVED the podcast parts.

I'm still in love with Ravi 🥹 and I love Pip.

I can't wait to read/listen to the last one 🥹

4.0

Another interesting mystery, though not quite as gripping as the first. I think it did a really good job of switching up the structure of the mystery to keep it interesting while being familiar enough that it didn’t feel strange

I wasn’t nearly as impressed with this as I was with the first book. 
Unnecessary sequel.

SPOILERS:

- “The gun was always there. 
It lived inside of her now.” 🥶
- the whole Charlie green and Stanley Forbes was a little ridiculous and soap opera 
- liked how Pip is getting more and more unhinged (pouring the soda on someone, painting “rapist” on maxs house, etc. — totally shifting the “good girl” narrative ! 
- super entertaining as usual and the characters of pip, Ravi, and Nat r continuing to grow / develop (I didn’t see much growth from other characters tho)
