Every Breath by Ellie Marney
5.0

oh my goooood, I loved this so effing much. THIS SHIP IS EVERYTHING. I loved it all; Mai, Gus, the Sherlock Holmes-esque story, the way that Rachel and James called each other by their last names, the eccentric boy genius who isn't always self-aware but who has this uncanny ability to make people feel seen and heard, the girl who takes on too much responsibility when she shouldn't have to but who is doggedly brave and curious and who cares about injustice. These characters were THE BEST. I called whodunit early on, but it was fun to read about these amateur but intelligent sleuths tracing the steps of a killer. I'M SO HERE FOR MORE BOOKS ABOUT MYCROFT AND WATTS LIVING UP TO THE INFAMOUS DETECTIVE AND HIS SIDEKICK. (Except Rachel is deeeefinitely not treated as a sidekick but an equal, and I so, so appreciated that). "Don't let him change you. Stay you. Stay open." asdfjkl; my heart.
