Pippa "Pip" Fitz-Amobi has decided to perform her Senior Capstone project on the disappearance of Andie Bell, a high school senior presumed to be murdered by her boyfriend Sal Singh. Not long after Andie went missing, Sal killed himself and confessed to her murder. However, Andie's body was never found. To determine if Sal really was guilty, Pip uses her intelligence to examine the case and threads that were overlooked by the police.
I'm an avid reader of Young Adult novels, but I have to say, I haven't found that one YA Mystery novel that I absolutely fell in love with. Until I met Pip. It's hard not to root for her, she's a great heroine and amateur detective. Intelligent, strong, and full of wit. When I first started this book, I did have my doubts. what can a 17 year old find, that the police didn't. However, when it became clear that there were gaps in the police investigation, and Pip saw it, I was on board.
I couldn't put this book down! The twists and turns were amazing, and it was really well paced. It had a wow factor finish. Every time I thought I had something figured out, BAM! I was wrong. I didn't know when I purchased the box set, that it was mixed media (transcripts, notes, texts, and more), I'm typically not a huge fan of books like that, but this worked on every level.
All in all, this is a fantastic read, it's a roller-coaster of emotions, I cried! Even if you're not a YA reader, this is a must read book. It's got everything and it's definitely worth your time.
As always, my review is my own opinion and thoughts. This review will be shared to my Instagram @fictionluxblog shortly.
