Okay I liked it and the story was interesting, but some parts really bothered me with the writing.
First off, it bothered me that it was "OK" instead of "okay," I feel like it makes the flow a little funky.
Everything was said. "Pip said" "Ravi Said" and while said is a word, it's not the only word.
The "We hit someone with our car then drove away and agreed not to tell anyone, but then we got blackmailed!" is super duper over used.
And last thing, it was set in Connecticut, but there were still some English-isms. Like "phoned"
It was a good book, but not perfect. I did like it though despite my gripes.
