I've loved all the Stevie Bell mysteries so far and I love this tight-knit friend group Stevie is surrounding herself with.
the murder mystery was *chef's kiss* and I enjoyed the flashback chapters from 1995.

Stevie was a really shitty friend in this one and David is just ugh. an even shittier boyfriend.

so far this is my least favorite in the series. nonetheless definitely worth the read.

I also didn't expect a cliffhanger. definitely need the sixth book immediately!
