A good read, very fun, but I didn’t have too much of an attachment towards the characters. Will definitely be continuing the series.

Meh. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t good either, in my opinion. I liked that it was from Jamie’s POV instead of Charlotte’s, but I still didn’t really like either of them. I also think it was made worse since it took me so long to finish it.

This was an incredibly fun new take on Holmes and Watson! Charlotte Holmes and James Watson are descendants of the famous Holmes and Watson (Conan Doyle was Watson’s literary agent in this retelling!😂), still in high school, and are of course, brilliant! The relationship between these two young, modern versions of the duo maintains the essence of the relationship between the originals ... I could say more on that but ... spoilers.🤣😂.

2.5, the book had some good parts but respectfully the chapters shouldn’t be so long.

I recommend this book if you like:
-YA college/uni
-Sherlock Holmes stories and similar vibes
-no romance
I have wanted to read this book for about 3 years. I definitely would have preferred if the book had a romantic element. The mystery was good but I couldn't warm to Charlotte and her emo, druggie demeanour. The story was a bit complex and left chunks of information out. When the mystery was revealed it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be.

I don't get the love for this book. It was such a frustrating read. I didn't ever care about Charlotte or Jamie. The only reason I didn't completely abandon it was because I had a vague desire to know how it ended.
