My thoughts:

I just almost always enjoy these YA mysteries, especially on audio!

I mostly enjoyed our main character, Pippa, she is smart but also felt quite real. But there were some parts were I just did not understand why she was lying about certain things to certain people, and that annoyed me a bit at parts. Also she made some rash decisions throughout the book, but I feel like that is because she is young.

I would have liked to see a bit more of her friends, most of them are only mentioned in the beginning. And only one we see a bit more often, but we don’t really get to know her. It kinda makes it look like Pippa doesn’t really spend time with them. We only get to see Ravi a lot, but she only befriends him in the beginning of the book.

I loved the authors writing it made listening to this book so easy and I flew through it! She really could set the setting really well, easy to imagine certain scenes. It also made the listening quite addictive!

I really enjoyed the plot. There were definitely some things that I suspected to happen, but most of them happened a bit differently than I thought they would! But there were also quite some twists that  I did not see coming, and that totally did fit the story! I would say I guessed like 40% of the big reveal, so I’m content with that!

I have no idea what will happen in the sequel, but I will definitely check it out!

I definitely recommend this one if you enjoy YA mysteries, especially books like Sadie! Although I’m very late on this hype train, so most people have already read this haha!

Have you read this book? What did you think?
