Such an incredible read. I picked it up and did not set it back down until it was done. I finished in just a few hours. Such a sad and tragic tale with a satisfying ending. Women supporting women, the fight to get justice. I love every moment of it

This is the first Noelle Ihli book I've thoroughly enjoyed. 

An intense plot with a unique perspective on death, with a sweet ending adorned with a bow - I'd highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a heart pounding but satisfying quick read.

I’m still not sure how I feel about Ask for Andrea. I loved it, hated it, loved that I hated it, and hated that I loved it. 

The things I loved; the characters (all the female characters), the second half, the detail, the originality. 

The things I hated; the guy (duh), how confusing it was to keep up with which POV was doing what, minor plot “inconveniences”, the first half of the book.

This book was so different from any book I’ve ever read. I really enjoyed…for lack of a better word…the perspective/point of view it was written from (three dead girls murdered by the same man), and how it all came together chapter by chapter. Aside from the ending, it didn’t have many majorly shocking plot twists or “omg” moments, but the intensity throughout the book was so high that it didn’t even matter, it had me hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I’ll also add, without giving too much away, that the connection the title of the book has to the actual storyline was so emotional and fitting and was one of my favorite parts about it. Such a unique and heartbreaking book that was very well done!
