What I do have to say though, is that the book sometimes feels like a teen drama show. This is not a bad thing (one look at my old tumblr reveals how much I obsessed over teen drama shows, so yeah, definitely not a bad thing) but I still wanted to point it out.
The only reason I didn’t give the book five stars is the fact that I don’t really vibe with love triangles. So far it wasn’t even all that bad, but love triangles just always leave a bad taste in my mouth. But oh well, I’ll see what happens in the next book.
See, that’s another positive thing about the book, I didn’t wait a single second after finishing the book, before I ordered the sequel.

It reminds me a little of a book a read when I was in elementary school called The Westing Game, but with a smidge of reverse harem trope thrown in and it was clearly written for a YA audience so all the romance bits were pretty cringe.
Favorite character was probably Oren the bodyguard. Will likely read the next book because I'm curious where it will go with the puzzles and mysteries, but skim the romance bits since I don't care about the main characters enough.
