I thought this was a lot of fun. It definitely has queer Veronica Mars vibes which I am here for. You have to suspend disbelief because high school kids wouldn't be able to do half the things in this book, but that just adds to the Veronica Mars of it all. There are two mysteries in the book that are clearly linked, and the MC has close links to both missing girls. And, of course, the most recent missing girl hosted a podcast about the disappearance of the other one.  And there's an ex- best friend who is also a teen reporter with dyed white hair in the mix. You can either roll with it and have fun or not. I could definitely see it being turned into a Netflix movie/show.
