I felt like this was a fun, engaging mystery with two different stories woven together. While Stevie's own mystery doesn't really happen until later in the book, I am interested in seeing how the two will eventually connect. The writing is easy to get pulled into and the characters are all interesting. The audiobook narrator is pretty good, too!

I will also say that I didn't necessarily believe the budding relationship that was happening. It felt like there was little build up and nothing was resolved. But we do have future books to hopefully do that, so fingers crossed!

I really thought that the story will go around the mystery about what happened many many years a go. I was like how?? How she's going to do that knowing the case happened a lots of decades already.

Half of the story I don't know where the story where going. Then suddenly that full of himself asshole died. 

And how she solved that alleged murder case is ????? And what's with the ending?? I understand its a series but??? And the romance came out of nowhere.

I love Stevie. I love Janelle. I love Nate. But seriously? The book 2 better be good😤

I felt like this book was made for me. Main character was great, and so many great details throughout without feeling too "pop culture." I do wish there had been more about the school/classes element (and a little weird that the anatomy class at this special school does not acknowledge the skin as an organ?), but overall enjoyed this listen. 

I do wish that the books in this series were standalone, which I know is personal preference, but the ending felt VERY incomplete and was a bit disappointing for me.
