This series started off as a really interesting murder mystery but over the course of the series it's focus turns to trauma, how it affects you and what it feels like. Holly Jackson's description of PTSD is incredibly well done. All of the characters feel really rich no matter how small they are. It's a fantastic series

that was a wild ride man. but honestly it was absolutely incredible, got a bit creepy towards the end to the point where i had to put the book down and do something else instead of reading at night. had me worried sick for pip all throughout the book, and the ending i almost cried at.
