This book was SO MUCH FUN!

I won’t say a ton because I don’t want to reveal anything, but this book is one mystery on another on another. The layers are crazy good! And the characters are so dynamic and interesting. I was invested at every second. And I legit didn’t want to stop reading it at times. It was a BLAST!

It’s lacking a 5 star read just because at times it feels a tiny bit cheesy. And I don’t see myself obsessing over this book in the future (like my other five star reads). But this book was a really fun time!

I recommend to people who like fun mysteries, word games, puzzles, family drama, and excitement. Perfect for fans of Knives Out and other fun, quirky mysteries. Also great if people want a fun book to read that feels like you are working your brain without working it in a way that feels hard or boring or like work.
