SpoilerEvery character sucked except Imogene, but that’s because she was severely underdeveloped. I feel like Scooby Doo episodes have cleaner wrap ups than this book did. All that for tax evasion? Really?

The counsellors is a fun, relatively quick mystery read. I enjoyed the main trios friendship and I feel like the story developed at a good pace until the end where the confrontation just felt a little lackluster and then it was over and we didn't see any of it. Just felt a little meh as an ending, but pretty good YA mystery murder

I thought it was a fun read with interesting characters. Overall I liked the mystery plotline although it wasn’t exactly what I expected at times and I felt it was a little rushed at the end. It’s good if you’re looking for a relatively quick mystery with summer nostalgia and strong friendships.
