To be honest, I don't really know how to rate this book. I understood the motives for why Pip acted the way she did and the way she and Ravi handled the situation made sense for their personality. But still the way Pip decided at that crucial moment made me angry. As well as the fact that she just ate up everything insider herself and didn't even talk to Ravi about her sleeping problems etc.
And I guess that was what the book wanted, to make the reader angry and to understand Pips anger, but for me it made the experience of reading the book annoying. I just wanted it to be done. So while on the one hand I liked the plot, the character development from the first to last book concerning Pip wasn't really my taste.
Maybe it was just too different from the first two books so I had "wrong" expectations going into it.
