I read the whole series bc I really wanted to read this book, I am a fan of summer thrillers and needed to be entertained while I waited for a new episode of pll: summer school but this book was just...okay
First of all that's a lot of David and I am not a fan of David nor will I ever be apparently. The mystery was interesting enough but the resolution? I kinda didn't like it? but the summer vibes where immaculate I was pleasantly surprised bc the other books had more of a fall/winter vibes (except the beginning of the first one) but such an intriguing crime...I fear my theories where more iconic than the reveal and that's my fault too for having the imagination I have and also for expecting to get a book as good as AGGGTM, that's never happening again I guess.
I love Nate and Janelle tho!
