thoughts while reading
p7: this girlie pop! she's brave to think she can actually live in her car
p11: ooooh now who is this sharp fellow? a hawthorne or a lawyer?
p13: I KNEW IT
p14:

"Don't take this the wrong way," she whispered finally, "but I think he might be God."

🤣🤣🤣
p22:

"Never lose your heart to a Hawthorne"

yeah we'll see long that takes. my estimate is about p167
p25: my first order of business would be to explore all the secret passages
p27: girl why are book mother's first actions upon meeting literally anyone are to embarass their sons as much as possible

This felt more like middle grade than YA. The writing was incredibly repetitive, as if the author expects you to instantly forget something unless it's repeated 5 times in quick succession. The fun party of mysteries is trying to solve them before they're revealed--that's not possible here, because you pretty much never have all the pieces and you just have to wait for the characters to explain things. And the explanations are not very satisfying at all. Also, there is, of course, a really stupid love triangle with instant attraction that makes no sense (beyond teenagers being teenagers, I guess).

"For fans of Knives Out" I have never felt so betrayed.

This was a fun read, though having the love triangle between two emotionally distant brothers was tiring and very insta-lovey. Solving the puzzles was an interesting driver in the plot. I kind of saw the plot twist from a mile away though. These chapters are so short throughout that the book moved fast. I want answers so I’ll definitely read the next book, but I’m not in a hurry. The brothers all annoyed me a little bit lol.
