I read this book for reading olympics and I really enjoyed it. It was one of my quicker reads recently and I found it enjoyable. Some of the mysteries the reader was given the clues to figure out themselves while other secrets you have to read to the end to find out. It had a good message and the three main characters went through incredible development  in their relationships with themselves and each other.

This had a great premise and resolution but was told incredibly poorly with no sense of urgency and thrill in the present, no sense of tragedy and intrigue in the past, and no sense of atmosphere in either. The characters and romance were an improvement from Two Can Keep A Secret, however (though the romance was still a bit pointless in this one). Also,

I liked how the ending echoed Jonas' story so much in terms of the imposter and financial fraud elements
