I enjoyed reading this for the most part. The disappearance of Jamie Reynolds was compelling and the fact that it made Stanley Forbes more sympathetic and actually have some character growth was a plus. Ravi and Pip finally say "I love you" to each other, which I adore. Absolutely love their relationship. I loved the added podcast element, it was very interesting to see it implemented into writing. And the kind of poetic line spacing in the end with Pip dealing with Stanley's death. I don't think I've really seen that in a novel before. Very cool!
