I loved reading this book! The relationship development, both into and out of relations, was so fun to read! The amount of ridiculous grinning on my part was bountiful. The book itself has a great plot, I like that it seemed realistic in some ways, like the news reporters bugging everything, little details of life that enriched the story so much more, everything. The fact that mistakes of main characters was prominent was such a powerful demonstration of how the characters were just human.

Side note: Cooper being gay, the revealed moment when he first visits Kris had me dying of love and shipping the two instantly!!!! Also, Kris coming in and figuring things out as a fresh set of eyes to reveal a plot twist that had been well eluded to? Incredible writing and a satisfyingly accurate representationof many real life instances.

Overall a great read, and I would definitely reccomend!

I bought this on a whim to make up the total in an online order so I qualified for a discount, but of all the books I bought it was the one I read first in the end because the premise sounded fun! Breakfast Club murder mystery, what's not to love.

I liked all the characters way more than I expected to, especially Bronwyn, and even though I had an inkling of the ending before it happened I wasn't disappointed that I'd guessed correctly because it was so much fun to read! 

I look forward to reading all the other books in the series!
