The ending was laugh out loud funny.  It was a little less fun than the first book but still a great time.  I loved seeing Finlay's and Vero's relationship grow. I liked seeing their ingenuity. It was less sheer dumb luck and more investigative than the first book which made for a nice reading experience.

Just like the first book in the series, the beginning dragged on for me. And I have a hard time relating to Finlay even though I am a mom with a toddler because I feel like she makes a ton of choices that get her into unnecessary trouble. I have a hard time suspending my disbelief reading this book, but when I can, I really enjoy it. The story is kooky with lots of unexpected turns, which keep me coming back to find out what happens next.
