I genuinely enjoyed reading this debut. I thought the book was a very solid thriller that kept me hooked all the way to the end. I would say the book was an easy read. Not in the bad sense, but that I was so invested and the book was written in a way that made it easy to digest quickly. The book reminded me of The Obsession meets The Lake. Surprisingly I was not able to predict where this story was going or where it would end. I would say I wasn't very invested in the beginning of the book, but once the mystery started to unfold I couldn't put it down. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a YA thriller that isn't overly difficult to understand and is entertaining.

Nora Sakavic has done it again. I was not mentally prepared for Jean's story but then again neither was Jean. Nora weaved the events of the last AFTG book seamlessly into The Sunshine Court in such a way I felt like I had never left.

Ann Liang has done it again. Even though I don't consider myself a romance reader Liang never fails to pull me into her books. The banter was amazing. I found myself nervous for Sadie and longing to understand Julius. I'm a huge lover of academic rivals to lovers so this book hit perfectly. I related to it at times and suffered second hand embarrassment at others. 5 star read all around. Everyone should read this book and her others as well.

The most unrealistic part of this book and series is the fact that they can research on their computers whilst in the car. How do they have an internet connection everywhere?
