I am very conflicted with the rating I want to give this coz there were some parts I liked and some parts I didn't.

It started off with a bang and I was really invested at first like imagine having to wake up every morning and you don't remember anything that happened in the past 2 years of your life....a very chilling thought. So I was really interested in seeing how everything was gonna happen. But then I kept getting so annoyed with Liv, coz with every opportunity she had to get to know what happened to her she either ran away or she did something so idiotic that messed everything up because if I was in the same situation as her I would do anything and everything to try and find out what was happening to me.
Some parts were so repetitive and I knew what Liv was gonna do even before she did it because she just kept making the same mistake over and over again.

Also the ending, the thing that actually happened; I saw it coming abt a 100 pages before it was actually revealed and I didn't think the story would go there but it did and that was also very underwhelming.

With that being said what I really enjoyed in the book was the perspectives we got from the detectives. I wish we had more books with them because it was fun and interesting to follow along the case with them.

I found this book in my dads collection when I was abt 12/13 after I had finished exams and was looking for something to read. And it was so insightful. I have reread it so many times and each time I read it I get a different message from it.
I keep it around with me and read it whenever I need some advice or help.
Highly recommend if you are a teen coz it gives very helpful advice in terms of school life, when dealing with parents/friends, addictions,etc

Also this is the only self help book I've read and loved (I read fiction mostly)

This book is not at all how I thought it would be....let's just say tik tok over hyped it
I found out about this book from tiktok and seeing multiple people recommending it I decided to read it and I wasn't satisfied.
Overall the book was good just didn't reach my expectations.
The ending was a bit sad tho when she remembered everything and realized her friends were ghosts/spirits.

Just to stay sane. Just to get through it. And when I felt myself slipping too far, I held on to the one thing I'm always sure of - Blue eyes. Bronze curls. The fact that Simon Snow is the most powerful magician alive. That nothing can hurt him, not even me. That Simon Snow is alive. And I'm hopelessly in love with him.”
