Definitely left the ending open for more books 👀
Shipped the main characters so hard but I'm thinking they're both straight, unfortunately.

This is very definitely YA, with the drama cranked up to 11. And these kids were way more sophisticated than I ever was in high school. Still, a fun read that makes me want to dive in the sequel.

Excellent mystery! I couldn’t guess who did it. I found the two protagonists to be fascinating and I loved them. The story makes sense and there’s so much going on that gets wrapped up beautifully. Highly recommend it as a lighter mystery to try to solve.
