5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The murder-mystery plot keeps you hooked all throughout, but the characters are loveable enough that you like to keep up with them. I like when romance books have the romance as a subplot and something different as the main focus of the book. This book ticks all the boxes on that. I originally was going to only rate this book 4.5 stars, because I feel like 5 stars should be for something special, but once I started reading I couldn't stop and I was happy with the results at the end, so that's 5 stars in my book. When you get to the line "My friends are with me and I'm not afraid," just know the tears won't be stopping until you've finished the book.
