5.0

I thought this book was a hilarious and fun read. The characters were relatable to my terminally online self, and the mystery wasn’t immediately solvable, which was nice. I thought it would be a fun beach type read, but it turned out to be way more engaging. I’ll be watching for more in this series - I am IN.

A quirky mystery with interesting characters, Charlotte Illes is Not a Detective is the novel version of a TikTok series. 

Charlotte is a former child detective all grown up and sort of floundering. She ends up taking on a case of her brother's girlfriend being stalked and stumbles upon a whole other mystery. 

Charlotte's friends are amazing, and I love their banter! There wasn't really a big twist, but I appreciated that the author actually laid out all the clues for Charlotte to put together. If I'd gone into this expecting a sort of cozy mystery, I wouldn't be disappointed. 

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review!
