*unintelligible screaming*

Yeah. I don't know how to form words about this book. I thought I was getting a mid-range YA mystery novel and instead I got an intense high-range YA murder mystery novel that would probably put Nancy Drew to shame (I think. I've never actually read any of the Nancy Drew's).

The twist at the end is just so *chef's kiss*. It's worthy of Scandinavian murder mysteries and that's saying something because no one does murder mystery as well as the Scandinavians.

Looking back on it, I think I figured it out about a third into the book, by complete accident. I just went 'this seems the most legit theory so this person must've done it'. Never thinking I was right because all the theories were more or less legit or plausible. And I wasn't even completely right. Just sort of. Anyway. It's a good book. Go read it, all of you.

It was weel written and even though you could see some of the plot twists coming, tou still got surprised by them all. The thing i didnt like was how the essay in it was written. She was doing a project and we see how she writes it, and most if it was just unneccecary

varias partes daban cringe. the mc couldve been a better character,, shes so basic, en las historias q escribía con 7 años todos mis personajes hablaban igual q ella. actually overall all the characters me parecen 1 poco mal hechos. pero me ha gustado igualmente😋
