Oh.

My.

GOD.

WHAT AN AMAZING BOOK.

What I liked:

* Really short chapters.

* Emails, texts and transcripts of phone calls.

* The story was really intriguing and interesting. It make me want to keep reading. I haven't had this much fun reading a book in a while.

* I think I found my new favorite trope: Person who everyone thinks is perfect and lovely dies and dark secrets about them start being discovered during the murder investigation.

* The main character, Pip, is absolutely amazing. I love her. Her interactions with Ravi and Cara were so much fun to read. I love the relationship she has with them. I love Pip's family too.

* I knew some romance was going to happen between Pip and Ravi and at first I really didn't want it. I felt like it was unnecessary. But after getting to the end of the book, I'm not mad it happened. They're really cute together. And I really appreciate that the romance doesn't happen until the VERY end of the book. Literally. So it didn't interrupt anything and create unnecessary drama. Though I wish they would have stayed as just best friends. But it's okay.

* SMALL TOWN WHERE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS!!!!!!!! (All time favorite trope).

* School setting.

* Literally everything else that happened in this book.

Except for...

What I didn't like:

* WHY THE HELL DID BARNEY HAVE TO DIE??? YO, WHAT THE FUCK.
