i really liked this book, it was really well done and i like that it was mostly not predictable

i did not expect andie’s sister to have been the killer and especially not for her to try and kill pip too!

one of my few grievances with this book was ravi and pip’s relationship. i thought they had a very nice friendship i just wish it hadn’t had some romantic undertones throughout.

i felt that ravi and pip ending up in a romantic relationship was completely unnecessary. it added nothing to the story and they met when she was 17 and he had graduated high school already which makes it a little icky

Quick read that kept me guessing the whole way through! The mystery is compelling and not as it seems. I definitely want to read the other books in the series and see what’s next for Pip and Ravi.

This book was so good. The use of multimedia to tell the story as case notes was so clever and the way the plot twisted to provide red herrings only to come around at the end and reveal the truth was stunning. Definitely a book that lives up to the hype.
