Oof. This one was just not it - Sorry Freida. The first 3/4 of the book read like a middle schooler who was trying to hit a word count wrote it. The last 1/4 was mostly typical Freida and had some unexpected turns. I didn’t enjoy either main character and found them both annoying. The ending just seemed odd to me as well.

The obsession with turtles is a bit much. I get that it is Dawn’s special interest, but it was a bit much in this book.

My suspicions were correct, even about the dead body and who did it. 

Didn't expect the Caleb portion there..... 🤨👎🏻
Natalie- wow 😒 
Dawn- NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT TURTLES! 

I'm happy that there's no more turtle talk.  I swear just the word "turtle" is 40% of the book alone.
