i am so dissapointed by how everything went down first first of all there is a major twist around the halfway of the book and no it's not the revelation of the identity of the serial killer being discussed or the stalker i think most of the people who read the book figured that out pretty early on but i am talking about

how Pip murders Jason Bell after she's already escaped from his kidnapping and in a really brutal manner too

Not only does that happen but also the rest of the book is just

Pip and nearly all her friends covering up the murder

is it stupid yes but was it bearable also yes but the end

Pip cuts herself off from everyone she knows and then we just see a text from Ravi

this angered me the most i am just going to act like i didn't read this and come up with my own alternative ending

Holy. Shit. I couldn't expect this conclusion at all. And I hate that I put off reading it for so long! There were so many times I shouted out loud because I was shocked with how the book went. Absolutely spectacular.
