First of all, I sobbed. Hard. The tragedy of it all. I feel bereft. 

This one was a little slower for me but I was still very much hooked. I'm glad to have the e-book and the audio especially for when I'm too impatient to just listen. I had the same issues as before with wishing we got the full cast consistently with the audio but I do love the podcast sections when we get the full cast of voices. 

They were barely in it and thankfully because Lauren and Ant irritated the fuck out of me. 

I enjoyed seeing Pip lose and find herself. I think Ravi and Pip are very cute together and I love both characters but honestly so often I wasn't feeling them as a couple.  There's some disconnect or a forced feeling? I dunno. But they are cute together. 

I enjoy the other characters and the different dynamics and growth we see. 

I can't say I had it figured out early and actually I thought it was going to go different way, however, there's a certain character who just gave me a bad feeling and turns out I was right. 

I still believe there's a sort of Pretty Little Liars suspension of belief here which I don't mind. It's not as chaotic as PLL but it's there but damn I wish the author would have stretched it a little further so I didn't have my heart punched around at the end.
