BETTER LEFT BURIED is a sapphic YA mystery where two teenage girls team up to investigate a murder and end up falling for each other along the way. i had such a great time reading BETTER LEFT BURIED that i finished it in one day. it really is THAT good. i loved both lucy and audrey as main characters but i especially loved their dynamic and the way they opened up to each other. i'm not much of a mystery reader so it doesn't take a whole lot for me to be surprised by twists but i loved the twists in this book and i audibly gasped several times as i was reading. even if you aren't a mystery reader, this is such a good book and i need everyone to read it!!
