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.

This was over all a really fun read. It was fast paced and and funny. Despite being a YA book the stakes felt sufficiently high, although the characters didn’t much talk or act like 16 year olds….which I didn’t really mind since I’m well out of that demographic anyway, but it was noticeable. The character development kinda went back and forth and left me feeling like neither of the main characters gained a lot of personal growth, but this is part of a series so perhaps I’m being too hard on it there. There was a dash of romance. It didn’t pull focus from the rest of the plot nor did it feel like insta-love. The mystery wasn’t the strongest part in my opinion. It just kinda felt like an average episode of Psych. But it was fun and I will probably read the next book and other things by this author.
