However, there are many smaller tropes throughout the book that are underdeveloped and important issues brushed over. It’s not a book I would recommend but at least it’s only short.

The teen romance didn't irritate me as it usually does, perhaps because it was so clearly treated as a teen crush rather than a deep love between soulmates.
The unraveling mystery of grandfather interested me a little more than the main mystery but overall a well handled modern gothic with a touch of social commentary

However, I didn’t feel that I really knew the characters. I knew what Cady felt, but I didn’t know any of their interests and true motivations beyond their love for each other. This made it difficult for me to be engaged in the book.
