In a “Knifes Out” type plot, this book offers a YA cast of character who are only slightly likable. The main character is smart and set herself up as “not like other girls” in every room she steps foot in. If you are looking for a complex mystery, this probably isn’t for you. While the twists and puzzle weren’t too predictable, I became exhausted by the main character’s choices and the gaggle of characters around her. The romance (and love triangle) is cheap and while the characters all have their own motives, they did grow with the story. 

Will I read the next book? Maybe but I might not finish it.
