I somewhat agree with those who said the book within the book was an issue. I found some of what was included in that book to be hard to believe (that he would include it) but it didn’t bother me enough to affect how I enjoyed the book. The identity of Jess’s father was more of a stretch and so unnecessary and cheesy. I’m glad that wasn’t a big part of the story.

I did guess the broad strokes of the mystery fairly early on and some more details as it went on. A few details still came as a surprise. I think we were meant to figure some things out before Jess did though. It kind of builds the anticipation of her realizing what we already have.
