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.

The murderer was the school nurse who was a fiance to the guy Charlotte had got in to trouble. The fiance thinks he's dead but he isn't.

If this wasn’t a book club book it would’ve been a DNF. The writing made me feel like and English teacher grading papers. Confusing writing/plot line, I still don’t quite understand if Sherlock and Watson are real people or fiction or both?? Or if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle exists in this world??? Narrator Jamie pissed me off from the beginning, just annoying. Not enough Lena content, loved her. Pages like I think 200ish-270ish were entertaining to me, everything else was kinda meh.
