This book had a crazy, crazy plot. I was completely shook and couldn’t put it down in the last 50%. HOWEVER, this book has some heavy topics that are not for everyone. There are frequent mentions of drugs, SA, and other dark themes that made sense considering the motive of the crime but still was an aspect of the book I didn’t enjoy. Also, there is some profanity. Overall a pretty good read with some really good characters. I know it’s the first of a trilogy, but I would image the next books are darker so I’m not sure I’ll read them 🤷‍♀️

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 

I’ll admit I wasn’t too thrilled going into this considering I don’t read too many YA stuff. I seemed to have weaned off it somewhere along the way. But this book really surprised me. This was in a sweet spot somewhere between YA and Adult, which was really what I needed after reading a ton of adult thrillers. 

I was turning pages faster than I was reading them and barely getting anything else done. Whenever I had to peel my eyes away from the book, I found myself thinking of every character in the book as a suspect and the motive they had. 

I loved the cutesy whatever thing going on between Pip and Ravi, it was so sweet and innocent and adorable. 

The repetition of facts a bit annoying; no one wants to read the transcript and then a paragraph under it summarizing what it said. I found it made the book rather longer. I guess it makes sense since it is for an audience that requires 

The ending was spun smartly and it was so layered that you can’t help but marvel at the author’s train of thoughts. I was however stunned by a certain death in the book; really wish the author said “haha JK!” in the end or something. 😕 

But overall, I really did enjoy this book and I can’t wait to devour the rest of the trilogy.
