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.

I read this book in a day, and I’m a very slow reader. I’m a huge Sherlock fan and I’m very nitpicky about recreations and reimaginings but I loved this one so so so much. 

ALSO HOLMES AND WATSON ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER IM MELTING IT’S SO CUTE <spoiler/>
