The Clue in the Diary by Carolyn Keene

5.0

It's a cold wet rainy Valentine's Day, so a very nice day to sit beside the fire with a cup of tea and read Nancy Drew--especially as this book in the introduction to one of the best book boyfriends ever, Ned Nickerson!

Nancy: "Maybe you shouldn't beg too hard, Ned. You may find yourself being called upon to do all kinds of outlandish sleuthing jobs."
Ned: "I'm at your service!"

I couldn't help but laugh at that. Boy is a fool in love and has no idea what he has gotten himself into, but he'll gladly do anything and everything Nancy asks. Seriously, they have the sweetest relationship.

The mystery itself was also really good and has one of the most satisfying endings once the case is closed!
