“I think we all get to decide what good and bad and right and wrong mean to us, not what we’re told to accept.”

I can't even tell you all about what happened, because I'm still recovering and it's gonna take a while before I do so.

➴ My smart girl Pip. Why does she have to go through all of this? (She absolutely ate though.) Why can't she live happily with Ravi and just enjoy normal life as much as she can? Pip and Ravi deserve that and more.

— This book had me on a rollercoaster of emotions.

The annoyance and madness I felt when Max was "proven" not guilty?? That hurt me to the core. I hope this little bitch gets what he deserves in the last book.

✧ The ending was just sad.

Stanley, please, rest in piece. I'm sorry for the bad that was done to you.

“Stanley died with his ankles in her hands, scared and bleeding out while a fire raged around them. She didn’t think he’d want to be cremated, burned, like his father had done to those six kids.”
⤷ Just let me cry in piece.

Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

I was very unsure where this book was going to go after the last one, however it was just as good. I love the mix media of interviews and seeing the evidence, etc. But it's not so much that it breaks up the story. The last 45 pages had me gripping my book and leaning in closer while trying to keep my emotions under control so that I see what happens.
