emotional funny hopeful mysterious fast-paced

• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

The first one was so good I didn’t know if it was possible to follow it up with a book equally as good but this was even better. Never gobbled up a 400+ paged book so fast! Utterly addictive and the mystery itself was even more clever than last time. It had me laughing out loud every other page  and the lovely ending made me cry at 4am with joy.
