I absolutely loved this book!  I think it was a BookTok recommendation, but honestly don’t remember.  It moves along at a good pace and has a wide range of mostly likeable characters.  It’s very well written and moves at a good pace. Every time I took a break from it, I couldn’t wait to go back and find out what happened next.
