slow start, the entries were much more interesting than the narrativa chapters, but it picks up the pace pretty well, one of the only books with an happy epilogue that’s actually good

AFSHSKLFLESGDJKSL THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD. if I could inject this book into my bloodstream I would—holy shit. the amount of plot twists had me gasping out loud, I live for all of the characters, the outcome was so messed up but so beautifully woven together it works so well. I’m not going to lie and say that this book didn’t scare me (the cute puppy videos I had to watch at 2am to fall asleep are proof enough) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 100/5 stars if you like messed up mysteries, murder, and cute couples involved in slightly illegal shenanigans you will enjoy this book.

“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.

I really enjoyed this book. From the very beginning it grasped my attention and I'm not the fondest of mysteries! I don't like reading series but this first book summed up perfectly in the end and did not leave my unsatisfied. I liked it but also felt that at some points I was not eager to read it so that's why I gave it four stars. Overall, it was great though!
