I don't get the chemistry between Jess and Derrick, seems sudden. Why differentiate the PoV between Jess (1st PoV) and Derrick (3rd PoV), I have no slightly idea because I think the story might be better written from all Jess's PoV but that's just me of course. I feel like Jess is less snark and more like two-goody person. It's not that bad, but I REALLY HOPE, Jess's nemesis, Rosalie get her comeuppance. Like really regret her wrongdoings. Rosalie is a bully to the core and her redemption is just barely there. I don't get why Jess can be so forgiving to Rosalie because Rosalie deserve the worst.
Story is not that memorable and I admit, I'm slugging while reading this. Maybe I like Meg Cabot when she write about con-rom or murder mystery, rather than the supernatural ones

I normally have a lot to say when I finish a book- good or bad- but unfortunately the most I can say about this is: it sure is a book that I read.

I felt like Jessica and Derrick lacked chemistry. I wanted them to be together but I didn’t feel anything between them.
I liked the LGBTQ+ rep (although brief) and the way it was written without question. I also enjoyed the mystery aspect, trying to figure out Derrick’s motives and what he’s hiding. Dina was probably my favorite character. She was reasonable, practical, and funny.
My biggest issue with this book is that the ending was just very underwhelming
