I am glad I was behind on reading this title because I think it allowed me to enjoy it more than if I had read it during its high hype time.
I had a fun time listening to this book. It was not perfect by any means, but the plot is engaging and kept my attention the whole way.
- Some parts of the story did not feel super realistic because it was happening to a teenager, but I think that was also what made the story feel so quick-paced
- The cast of characters was helpful to building depth to the story and even some distractions at parts where clues were given
This is a title I will recommend.
