ngl, I don’t really understand the hype for this book. I liked the humour with the anonymous notes from Tip Tap at the beginning of each chapter (once I figured out what they were lol) and the mystery certainly intrigued me enough to keep reading, but the characters were being annoyingly dramatic about how important social status was in high school (trust me, hardly anyone cares about that anymore), the big Incident was really not all that big, and overall it all just fell a bit flat for me. however, it may just be my slight reading slump making me feel this way.

honestly, this book was amazing, and I loved it. the only complaint I have is that the ending went FAR TOO FAST. I wasn’t ready and it was too much to process in such a short space of time.
