I suspected Nathaniel before I was even halfway through the book. He is present far too often,  with no real purpose for his presence, for it not to rouse suspicion

I found this book, back when I read it years ago, to be quite enjoyable and it actually is what got me back into reading. I really enjoyed the chemistry and clean YA romance for the age I was, and the mystery was enthralling. I also loved how the author touched on sexism in such a vital era in the world and how that affected the protagonists development. However, I found the plot twist to be a bit out of left field and perhaps a reread would be beneficial, but the ending, imo, fell flat to me.

The book has images of various topics within the medical examination field, however none are graphic.

Kinda gory....but I loved the mystery, read the whole thing in an afternoon. Her and the love interest bicker all the time and are very sweet. I was completely shocked by who the killer ended up being, and the ending caught me completely off guard.
