This book was as artfully written as the first book in the series. The plot stays similar and connected to the first book, without feeling repetitive at all. It also helps tie up some of the lose strings and reveal consequences from the first book. 

The characters are just as lovable, relatable, and realistic as ever. With this new plot, the reader learns much more about minor characters, such as Connor and Nat, which gives the case, setting, and community much more depth. Pip goes through some serious inner conflict and turmoil throughout the novel that deepens her character even more, leaning into some of her flaws and weaknesses.

In all honesty, the book began pretty slowly and it was hard to stay engaged. I had to force myself to pick the book back up and power through at times. About halfway through, the story really picks up again and grabs the reader until the very end, then I wasn't able to put it down!

I liked the second book better than the first one because the start was faster. However, I found the middle slower. Less suspects, more timeline, I really liked that. The perspective from the podcast was fun. I feel like we saw in more depth the grow of the characters. I liked how everyone grew including Pip AND the relationship between Pip and Ravi
