I liked this one! I really want the next book but I should probably read the first one again since I forgot most of it.

i’m over halfway through because I got home from school, made a mug pancake, got into my pjs and read for two hours in bed. mood :) im really liking it so far and i’m interested to see how it pans out. one thing i’m not so happy about is how they don’t give all the facts of the case from the beginning meaning you can’t really solve it yourself, you have to wait for her to. but still it’s really cool so far

[Bumble]

who’s done with it yet?

i've already read thsi whole series and i love it. one of my all times favourites. i'm excited for book 4 :)

i really loved the mystery of this book and i never actually felt bored while reading it. the whole book i was trying to solve the mystery or at least have a suspect, but yeah, i am not a genius when it comes to true crime as stevie is, so i ended up being so wrong.

what do y'all think of the romance? i've read a lot of reviews where people say they do not like the romance so i am curious what do you gusy think. i personally like the romance, even tho sometimes i was annoyed by it and how the characters were acting.

I don’t know. it felt sort of rushed but not tropey and I liked the mystery about his parents.
