I read this book in two sittings and I am seriously in love with the writing style, the type of storytelling it is, as well as all the flaws of each and every character that only makes them feel more real. This book took many twist and turns and I was quite surprised about how things unfolded. 
I cannot wait to get on with the last book!

I'm definitely above the age range this is targeted to but I'm enjoying the fun romp and the Knives Out vibes, which were why I originally picked up the series. I could *really* do without the love triangle because the story is interesting enough without the painful "who will she end up with". I'm much more interested in the family dynamic and the overall puzzle. I loved how much more of the backstory we learned about in this book and I can't believe I'm going to be waiting for a year to find out what happens next.
