4.0

I think the story is very well thought out and it had a few plots twists I didn't necessarily see coming. It might not be the most realistic story - a teenager doing all this for a school project, interrogating adults at night on her own, breaking and entering people's houses, etc. - but i didn't really care because it's kind of to be expected with a book like this. You kind of have to ignore all the logistics of it and have fun.

It was very easy for me to read this book, because the writing was pretty simple and the story was fast paced with short chapters.

The characters were pretty likeable, however they were all very quirky and I felt like most of them had the same personality which sometimes annoyed me a bit.

But yes, overall I really enjoyed reading this and I will definitely read the other books as well!
