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 😭

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.

Okay, so the tape might play in somehow. The piece on the road sign “Thatcher Poad” and now on her shoe.

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.
