I enjoyed this book fine, I’ll definitely be picking up the 2nd one. There’s just a few things that bugged me. The plot line was pretty engaging, and I liked most of the characters fine. But a lot of the times there just felt like too many main characters to try and keep track of, especially when they were all essentially supposed to be suspects. Also the repetitiveness!! That was honestly driving me nuts. There were like 2/3 lines that the main character KEPT repeating. You only really need to have them say it 2 or 3 times for it to stick, and it such a short book, saying them 8 times was not necessary. This is kind of a spoiler but not really
the whole Emily plot line was incredibly unnecessary feeling? Like I get that her death was used to bring Grayson and Jameson together, but JESUS
I am excited to see where this book goes in the future. There were some genuinely funny moments and I really liked the youngest brother, so I’m hoping he gets a bit more developed. Actually I’m hoping that a majority of the main characters get developed because sometimes it is honestly hard to tell who is who. Ok that’s it!
