I enjoyed this book a lot! I read it in about a day, mostly in one sitting. I felt invested in the plot and characters, and thought the mystery played out well. I felt like the “villian” in the end wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be, but I can acknowledge that this is a YA book and the plot has to be somewhat predictable. I was totally rooting for Bronwyn and Nate the whole time, I’m a SUCKER for a good girl/bad boy trope ❤️
