Wow, that definitely was a wild ending! All the twists that happen were jaw dropping!
The characters were fun too! I guess I wasn’t very impressed with Pip’s type of humor, but it wasn’t that bad.
Also, I wish I could find someone as patient as Ravi! He is such boyfriend material!

feel like this book is the epitome of glorifying “unsolved murders”.

None of this is as feasible, starting from the opening chapter noted form the professor telling Pip to not contact either family. That’s literally the first thing she does. The story has no connection to “the medias influence on the case” and is essentially just a teenage girl running around a small town, confronting drug dealers and somehow not getting murdered. The ending was rushed and overall, not a fan.
