I liked the mystery aspect of the plot but the dialogue and characters were really difficult to get through.  It is an older book but didn’t think things would be so dated; not to mention how sexist everything was. The characters are one dimensional at best and the drama the author tried to make between them was very cliché high school vibes—if they were written by an adult who forgot their own high school experience.  This book just wasn’t for me.  The setting was nicely done though, so there’s that at least.
