One of my favorite books of all time. Easily my favorite YA. Holly Jackson is an instant read author for me, and this was my first. This review is actually from my 3rd time reading it.
I absolutely love the story, the characters, and the suspense. Pip is a homework loving nerd who decides she wants to use her senior project as a way to shed some light on a local murder from 5 years ago. As she delves deeper into the secrets of the two teens involved in the alleged murder-suicide, her own obsession with the case and the anonymous threats that begin showing up start to prove dangerous. Will she find the answers she’s looking for? Does she even know what the truly is yet?
Great book, great group of small town living characters, the mysteries pile on and the twists somehow keep coming and yet always keep you guessing.
