I thought it was a fun read with interesting characters. Overall I liked the mystery plotline although it wasn’t exactly what I expected at times and I felt it was a little rushed at the end. It’s good if you’re looking for a relatively quick mystery with summer nostalgia and strong friendships.

Diverse characters, not too much of a mystery though. At least, it wasn't written well enough to be one.

I honestly really enjoyed this. There were several times throughout I thought it was predictable and I had solved the mystery all on my own but it wasn’t until Goldie (main character) began putting the pieces together that I did as well.
