*US edition of the audiobook, wish I listened to the british one but alas*
Really liked the audio production and was kind of fun to read but sighhhhh I just could not look past how ridiculous and unbelievable a lot of it was (which is to be expected, the book is about a 17 year old solving a murder lol). When the reveal happened I thought it was kind of comical how the perpetrator explained everything in such great detail to our main character for no reason. But the story did get a bit darker than I thought it would for a YA book, which was unexpected. In conclusion, if you can get it from your library, do that.
