This was a great murder mystery, i thoroughly enjoyed every second i read of it.
I read it together with my sister as a buddy read and it was real hard to wait for her to catch up to me because i was so invested. I even made my own murder board document xD
I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes murder mysteries and especially to everybody who enjoyed Pretty Little Liars (like the first 3 seasons or so) as it was very reminiscent of that.
Lots of plot points and Andies characterisation reminded me of PLL but in a good way.
I think the mysterious note writer should have been included more often as it didn’t seem all that threatening if it only happened every 50-70 pages or so.
Great twists and build ups that I really enjoyed.
I must say though I had suspicions at times I don’t think I would’ve been able to figure out who did it much before it was revealed; only in the lead up.
I also really enjoyed the different mediums!
