from the start i knew this book was gonna be a 5 stars read for me. the writing is so simple yet so effective. it had a grip on me and i loved it. the twists were widening my eyes, making my breath hitch and the tension made my chest tight and heartbeat fast. i lived this book, at least it feels like that. like i lived with the characters, characters which were exceptionally written and i loved. i truly cared for them and their well being or in some cases hated and despised them. this story was so wild and so fun to read. made me cry when

barney died.

.
im glad the book wasnt just: murder, death, clues, betrayal. there were some sweet moments in there too, pip with her friends or with her family. it was like a little break and i loved that.

i recommend this book to everyone whos looking for a great mystery with plot twists you cant expect.

This book was really almost perfect. Great story, great characters. The only things were that a., sometimes dialogue was a little cringey and b., ending was not my favorite. I did not have a crazy aha moment like I would have wanted. And also I didn’t love the way the story was told in different mediums. Just not my thing, personally.

This was SO good! Although I figured out loosely the whodunnit side fairly early, I still had a great time seeing it all come together and figuring out the missing pieces. I love books like this for making you think about how it happened, but also about why the characters did what they did. I loved Pip and Ravi, they were so sweet together (even if we don’t really get to see them together). The format with the production logs sometimes made me lose interest a little because I wanted to keep reading the story part, but they were still interesting to see how Pip was piecing things together and gave vital information. I really loved this book and want more

Loved it!!!! I was planning on it being decent, but I really loved it! It was engaging and kept me wanting more. I solved it several times, being wrong multiple times. Lol
