I zoomed through this thing. I wasn’t even caffeinated. Stevie is the single most accurate representation of anxiety I’ve ever read and I appreciate that.

A great way to close the multiples cases but also I do not trust it? does that make sense? wtv maybe I will feel the closure when I read the other ones, so far I like Stevie but her chose on love interest are...questionable 

I am not sure I ship her with Nate but he is definitely a better option than David, he is not an unhinged idiot and they make more sense but maybe I am just protein bc I want the character that I feel is most like Ravi to be with the character that's most like Pip, I just want to reread agggtm but I already did this year and it is not healthy to do so again so here I am.

Why did I think Iris and Alice were sisters until more than halfway through the series…

It took three books, but Stevie wrapped up the loose ends in the Ellingham and related cases.

This book was a great and satisfying ending to the Truly Devious series. All the questions were answered, and all the loose ends came together in the end. I can't wait to go back and reread the series to pick up any clues and hints I missed the first time around!

The only thing I took issue with is that the adults were implausibly lax about keeping an eye on the kids. There were several instances of people sneaking out during a snow storm, and no attempt being made to track them. It didn't make sense.
