Is it the great American novel? No. A gripping and terrifying mystery? Also no. But it’s a cute short book about the girl detective and I think it’s self aware of its content

Once again I was feeling nostalgic and my great grandma got me this but for my birthday. I really enjoyed it and loved the details but I do have to say I figured out the problem before Nancy did haha. But over all I love the nancy drew books.

Someone has stolen a valuable Faberge egg AND someone else (or the same person?) has smashed all of the neighbors' zucchinis! Nancy, the whitest, most privileged white girl you know is on the case!
Read due to my childhood love of Nancy Drew and mysteries, left with a feeling of bleh. 2.75 for the signature "cliff-hangers" that end each chapter as well as nostalgia and every-day mysteries.

"It just seems like everyone in this town has suddenly getting weird about zucchini."
That quote's pretty much all you need to know about this book. And yet, it was an utter delight. Nancy Drew is just nostalgic and cozy for me. Is it perfect? No. But it's a ton of fun. I love River Heights, as weird as it is. Ned Nickerson is the best boyfriend ever (and dare I say, deserves better than Nancy?), Bess and George are #iconic sidekicks, and the other citizens of River Heights are loveable even if they're odd. The mystery genuinely has low stakes, which made it so nice to read on a rainy evening. It felt like revisiting my childhood, and it was perfect for what I needed.
3 stars from me.

I didn't read it expecting a jaw dropping, edge of my seat kind of story. It's a cute and quick read. I loved them when I was younger so why not pick one up as an addition to my reading challenge.
