Going into this I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve moved a little away from YA reads this year but had such a great time jumping back in. The mystery is exciting and intriguing; it isn’t so simple that you can guess the ending right away nor annoying in that the protagonist misses the most obvious clues. I loved the little romance and near the end was grinning with excitement and yelling at parts of the reveal. Would definitely recommend for a quick, easy, yet fun read.
