lovedd agggtm, this one not as much. i still did like it, and read it in pretty much two sittings. i am also still a ravi and pip lover (together and each as their own characters - fabulous)!

however, the plot felt kinda bland, and only really picked up around the 85% mark. also i predicted the plot twist / who the villain was. i’m usually really bad at predictions and things, so every time i guess something correct i feel smart but also disappointed. that’s not really a fault of the book per se, just a personal reading experience.

however, i did reread book 1 with the intention to finish the whole series this time, and i like holly jackson’s writing enough to stick with that promise. heard mixed things about book 3 so we shall see!

Pip’s at it again! Same Pip, different chase, another podcast season. I do love her heart. Ravi is my favorite though 🥰 Now, on to the last book…📕

This was a solid follow up! It didn’t grab me as much as the first but I still really enjoyed it. This story felt a bit more rushed to me, there was less of Pip as a person and more of the case which I didn’t love, I wish more was intertwined throughout. I could feel the stress of her character building as it went on and that’s a realistic aspect of the story. I thought the ending turned rapidly and was a bit unrealistic and unbelievable, but hey, crazier things have happened! Can’t wait for the third!!
