I don’t understand the hype nor the excessive consumption of alcohol by teens being treated like it’s no big deal. Maybe I’m just too old. Lol

I enjoyed it a lot!! I haven’t read a mystery in a while, and I actually didn’t even know that it was one hahaha, but it was very cute! And a very easy read/listen as well. I enjoyed the characters getting to know one another and I can’t wait for that to continue too! While I was able to guess some of the mysteries, it wasn’t all of them. And the bigger ones I didn’t know either. Very cute and very well written. Would definitely listen or read again, can’t wait to read the rest.

what a story omg this book goes from plot twist to plot twist and it’s like we, readers, become part of the game and we try to resolve it with the characters 
and the foreshadow of the end!!!
i need the second book like right now i need to know what happens next

Read in a day, roughly 10hrs, (a new record for me, with a first time read). This book is super entertaining and a fast read, I read it In pretty much 3 sittings. All the chapters follow on like a movie there’s really no page you can put the book down on. The characters are extremely loveable and the plot intriguing

I really enjoyed this book. The puzzles, the mystery, the hints of a love triangle between Avery, Grayson, and Jameson. This reminds me of the Westing Game. There are some riddles that aren't solved by the end of the book, and some that are solved but not satisfactory. But overall enjoyable and can't wait for the sequel.
