Like I'm not gonna give The Westing Game for the 2010's, with references to Madonna, karaoke, pub trivia, Radiohead, and other pop culture delights 5 stars.
Loved this book! So charming and funny and well written. Kind of reminded me of a grown up Westing Game. I really liked the story and the meaning behind it - it was sweet without being cheesy.
I like to find off the path books that consume me
This one didn't disappoint. It may have had some drooping close to the end but it was not a reason to give up. Overall it was totally worth the read and I felt like I really fell into her world!

This took me nearly a month to read, as it just never grabbed me and I kept putting it down and picking it back up five minutes before bed and falling asleep two paragraphs in. It seemed centered around a scavenger hunt which was confusing, as essentially only a couple clues were tracked down before the final hurrah...I appreciated the earnestness but it often leaned saccharine, and none of the characters ever full came to life for some reason, especially Tuesday the protagonist. Finished out of sheer stubborness.
Not sure that I like this novel. The plot about the game was interesting but I couldn't seem to connect to the characters.

A fun book about a treasure hunt - a hunt for friendships, treasure, and self-worth.
3.5 stars. It was an interesting plot, but had too much down time with no action. I liked Tuesday a lot, but I felt like I never quite knew her because her character was unpredictable. Also.the plot was too convoluted for my liking. I felt like I was left out of a big secret that everyone knew about. Maybe it’s just me.
Puzzles & fannishness & friendship = the key to my heart.
