i'm fine with murdering serial killers

but the full seven hours of

"The Gang Gets Away With Murder" melodrama was... a lot

This book had me on the edge of my seat. i wanted to reach into it and shake some sense into them tbh.

there's nothing more nervewracking to me than watching a character build a web of lies. i was genuinely more anxious when pip was doing that than when she was abducted.

i had heard both very good and very bad things about this book before reading it, and i saw that someone said that this didn't fit the characters. to which i would say it absolutely does. pip is not the slightly naïve "good girl" anymore. she is traumatised, has lost so much that mattered to her, she has ptsd

(and a drug addiction thanks to that).

she has been failed by the police before. this developement makes perfect sense, even if it's not what we'd wish for her.
