The characters decisions could be frustrating at times, but I have to admit that it kept me guessing.

This is a cute YA sapphic mystery. A few times I think it got too unbelievable.

    When Iris' ex-girlfriend, Heather goes missing after releasing the final episode on the case of Iris' missing sister Stella, Iris gets pulled back into an investigation that could get her arrested or even killed. 
     I enjoyed this book, but I found that the who the killer was predictable. I never trusted the people involved. I did think the themes of the book were overall great. But I wish I hadn't been able to pretty easily guess the bad people.
   The narration was excellent and added to the story. I also loved the podcast episodes within the book.
    Overall a good sapphic thriller.
