I thought the main characters, high school teens, were written so well and their dialogue was believable and actually cute, despite the overall dark subject matter that’s the main theme. These young people were written as mature, determined, and with age-appropriate ingenuity, but still tempered with the youthful attributes of impulsivity and some naivety. Without a doubt, Drew, Autumn, Max, and Mary are some of my favorite YA characters!
I listened to the audiobook and felt the narrators, Sophie Amoss and Robb Moreira, were superb in their delivery of the story being told from the perspective of the two main protagonists, as well as bringing to life the personalities of all the additional characters.

Drew's story took a bit to suck me in, but once he got his friends involved to go sleuthing, I was on board.
I listened to the audiobook, and both narrators did a great job. Can recommend this format for sure.
As others have said, don't look up anything. I thought I had it all figured out, but I was not ready.
