The book read super easily. Before I know I was already halfway into the book. The story is super well written and the characters are all sweet in their own way. This is the first book I read by Schwab, but definitely not the last one. Can't wait how the series play out.

This book really made me recognize myself in Georgia. Even though I had some 'urg' moments that felt like the story was dragging on too much, I really enjoyed it. I loved the aro-ace rep, I loved the friendship lesson and everything about this book. Definitely my favourite read so far.

So. If I could give this book more than just a 5 star rating, I would. This book had such a good build-up to the final reveal of who the murderer is. Boy was I wrong.
