The dialogue in this book was next to unbearable. The main character, Opal, is difficult to like, and the side characters less so. None of them are very fleshed out and their character motivations are stale. The plot wants to have a grand mystery, but the reveal falls flat. There isn't a nice resolution at the end, and it instead opts in for the classic Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper ending. Glad to be done with this book.
