I thought that this book took a really interesting spin on a mystery and turned it into a the types of mysteries that we deal with everyday. Coming to terms with grief, understanding your body as a teenager, drugs, suicide, and grooming are all things that are often more realistic that the normal mystery. This was definitely an interesting read and I liked getting to unravel the mystery with Jules.
