Liked this book a little bit less than I was expecting, but it also didn't necessary disappoint me at the same time... It just wasn't the type of book I was expecting when I picked it up.

The "mystery" aspect of this book was a bit uninteresting to me, and I kinda already guessed where the clues where gonna lead from the beginning. There was like zero tension for me, but maybe that was the author's intention? I mean it wasn't a mystery book, so maybe the mystery wasn't supposed to be as nerve wracking as I was expecting.

So yeah, didn't exactly get the book I wanted when I read the synopsis, but it wasn't bad! Liked the representation and the resolution to everything! Wished the relationships were a bit more fleshed out tho. 
The main couple of the book doesn't really give me a "we are gonna last forever vibe", I feel like they are just gonna break up in like 2 years and this whole "mystery" was all for nothing... 
But maybe I'm he only one who got that vibe.
