I found parts of this book engaging, especially parts 1 and the ending.  I also preferred Brin’s sections because I found her more compelling.

While I didn’t always like the middle, I do appreciate the growth of the characters, and how they handled each twist.

5.0

I love murder mysteries, and I liked that this one wasn't scary. (Although those can be good too) I liked the characters and how the story was told from both Brynn and Mia's perspective, both during the current events and the past.
The progression of Summer being portrayed as the perfect girl to her bad sides getting revealed reminds me of A Good Girls Guide to Murder. I was horrified when Summer killed Biscuit, but the reveal at the end about her trying to banish the shadow made it different. Ms Grey as the killer wasn't something that i figured out until a couple sentances before the reveal, when Mia mentioned the purple carnations, but it really works well into the story.
  I really liked Lovelorn as a plotline in the story and as a book on its own, as well as the fanfic.
