Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson
3.0
I really really wanted to like this book.
I think I’m too old for it now? It’s very teenage coded.
Also don’t love the pacing - it was too slow at first. Characters are fun but I wanted the romance to build up more. I wasn’t invested.
I love the teen detective trope and Stevie is great at it. But so much happens at the end and then a cliffhanger?? Ugh.
This novel could’ve been cut in half. Bumping up from 2.75 because I am invested enough to read the next one to find out what happens.
I think this would’ve been 4 stars if I was in high school
