I enjoyed it, I'm pretty observant and I didn't see the twists coming. However, the writing wasn't great. It's YA but written like middle grade level. I kept forgetting our main character was 17 and not 13. It was still a good book that I would recommend.

Took me a bit of time to read this but that’s because I was sick and busy trying to do everyday things but finally got there and I have to say I loved it. Well written likeable characters. Loved the way the pets that were going to be in Pips project were written like it was a project. The recordings done like transcripts just added to the whole enjoyment of the book. Would defo recommend this. Nearly finished book two Good Girl Bad Blood so review coming soon
