The ending feels a little meh — would have felt better if it had been a written scene and not just a text screenshot. How does she even avoid her family for that long.

Regardless, pretty decent final story.

Getting away with murder through the power of science and friendship!

I really have no idea if they’re going to get away with this.

…To be fair she was kind of right, I don’t think they would have believed her 😭

Okay we’re only halfway-ish through, but predictions: Jason Bell, Daniel da Silva, OR by some painful twist, Nat da Silva.

I love that you can tell that so much of this was planned. The tie-backs to the first book are great. I wish I’d read the first two more recently so I could catch some of these myself!

I continue to adore Ravi <3

The stick figures moving is kind of fun, in a way. What happens when they actually get to her window, though? And who’s going to bother climbing to draw them?

I adore Ravi, but I’m kind of worried they’re going to split up. Pip is so restless, she’s really impulsive.

I really like that Pip and Nat became friends. I actually hope we see more of Pip’s friendship in general — they fell flat in the last book for various reasons and didn’t get to fully come through in the first. And I can’t say I blame her over the chalk drawings and pigeons, I’d jump to the same conclusions even without her traumas.

I’m guessing Max is going to play a much larger role in this book one way or another. I like the use of the gunshot as a haunting figure for Pippa, but I’m not sure about the eyes. I think pages 38-39 encapsulate how her perspective is scrambled now from her experiences.
