4.25 stars, my one critique is that a lot of the characters have the same or very similar names so it is sometimes difficult to keep track of who the author is talking about.

Great read! A few things/dead ends I wish the author would’ve explored more but overall a really enjoyable read. Perfect for fall season too :)

A very fun read. Good plot with fun twists and turns. Additionally the book being inspired by real people makes it more interesting.
