I was really enjoying this for the most part, I liked the dual timelines happening at the start but that fizzled out over time. The teen relationship drama was expected for a YA book but almost seemed to take high precedence than the murder mystery, yet never really had a solid pay off. Honestly I was enjoying the Nines chapters a lot more than Stevie’s, but still getting interested in the overall plot.
And then it just ends.
No payoff for either aspects of the book, no solid conclusion or confrontation, it just ends.
Overall a decent mystery that’s weighed down by too much relationship drama and a disappointing ending.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO END THAT WAY

I loved the mystery but the angst in this one was so ridiculous.

Always enjoyable to read a Maureen Johnson book, but ultimately a bit disappointed by the ending and the lack of Stevie+friends time

Two stars was truly generous but i will give Miss Johnson grace because her other books have been solid 3/5 stars so i cannot say i was surprised. Found out this is my most read author this year but i devour these audiobooks like they are manna from Heaven and i cannot contain myself

not really finished. loan expired and wont continue
