The details in the twists kept me turning page after page. The surprising protagonists warmed my heart. Cute story about two unlikely friends who empower one another.

YA murder mystery. Two opposites pair up to try and solve the murder of a classmate. Probably 3.75. Liked it for what it was.

This is a fun teen sleuth story without too many stakes if you’re the kind of reader who gets anxious when characters are in serious danger. The actual bad guy twist was obvious from a mile away but I still had fun. The main characters are Alice- the poor little rich girl who is always lonely- and Iris- the smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks- who become genuine friends as they investigate the death of Alice’s former friend.
There’s some pretty unbelievable things in this book, like how much the defense attorney gives away all her case info to a couple of teenagers, and how the rich guy actually gets arrested and doesn’t immediately get out with whatever fancy lawyer he’d end up with. The cops also don’t notice that there’s a snitch amongst them which I think they’d be pretty on top of, especially if some of them are planting evidence.
My biggest complaint is that these girls don’t seem to be heading towards more than friendship. They both think semi-often about how best and great the other is but they’re both interested in dudes? Absolutely not.
