This was so cool, and honestly.. something that my 15 year old self would’ve loved 😂

I enjoyed the mystery, it was good, entertaining.

The twist I wasn’t expecting was that it was darker than I thought it would be, I mean.. everyone who has read this book can tell that you have A LOT of different suspects through the story BUT I wasn’t expecting the depth of it 👀

It’s a pretty good YA book, probably not a good choice at 26 y/o but I liked it nonetheless.

I really don’t have much to say about this one, it was good but (please note that I’m not the audience target for this book) it wasn’t mind blowing. I liked it but I didn’t loved it. The characters were probably likable but I couldn’t connect a lot to them. Although I did loved Ravi (mmc? kind of? 😂) 🫶🏻

And I did find it cool when Pip (the fmc) did her transcriptions. And I liked that even tho it was mystery the main plot, there was a bit of romance building up somewhere there. (That’s my romance inner girl talking) 🤭
