Pippa Fitz-Amobi… This little look into the catalyst for Pip’s EPQ and the moment that would change her life forever was truly captivating. The moment of realisation she has when she finally decides what topic ignites her soul is a collective “aha” moment. And I had to agree with her, her theory for Reginald Rent’s murder was much more elaborate and interesting.
Jackson also provides a deeper look into the dynamics of her friendship group and Jamie and Connor’s sibling relationships which was both informative and fun. Definitely would recommend reading this book after the other three, despite the fact that it’s timeline precedes the first book. It allows for a better understanding of who the characters are and makes it a lot more fun seeing the little details of their interactions and behaviours.
