I have finally gotten to this book! So many people were raving about it and I just had to know why.
I really enjoyed the setting. I don’t know why but I love boarding school type books. I really was skeptical about how Stevie was going to make connections to a cold case. Turns out there’s some new things happening. The thing is, I have so many more questions than answers.
I really liked Stevie. I loved her mind and the way she was able to see people and situations. I love Sherlock and she really reminded me of him, in the detective skills. I also like how she brought anxiety to light. This is a trend that I can get behind. Everyone has anxiety on some scale but a lot of people don’t think it’s a “real” thing. It most certainly is!
I loved how this wasn’t revolving around romance. There is a small romance that forms with Stevie and a class mate. I am kinda laughing so hard at that ending though… Go figure! I’m not really sure how I feel about this book not tying up any loose ends. I didn’t realize this was a mystery that wouldn’t be tied up for several books. I just figured it was a series of different mysteries. I’m not a huge fan of waiting a year for any answers! I feel like it was more of an open ending instead of a big cliffhanger.
I loved Nate. Oh my gosh.. he’s someone who I totally didn’t think would make a big impact. I love when he becomes a real friend to Stevie and helps her. Ahh! I just really can’t wait to learn more about him.
Overall, this was a fun and quick read. I can’t wait to read the next book but I might wait until the series is finished.

Wonderful review! 😊 I’m not usually one for mysteries, but this one sounds interesting and I love a boarding school setting. Not sure I can handle waiting that long for answers though, it’s like Pretty Little Liars or something!

Great article!
I’ve heard about this book. Sounds like an interesting read. I had no idea there would be more books and this was going to be a series. Good to know, I might wait now till more of the books come out.
Currently reading To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han. Just started reading it and so far it’s really good!

Yes, I would definitely recommend waiting to read it when the whole series is out! If I would have known, I would have done the same.
Ohhh! Such a great series! I really love that book especially. They did a good job with the movie adaptation too!

I have heard good things about this one and it has been on my tbr for a while, but I also thought each book was about a different mystery, it’s good to know before reading it that I’m not getting all the answers in book 1. Lovely review! 💛

Okay, I’ll definitely wait, I have no patience when it comes to reading a series! I’ll accidentally buy one book at the store, and then realize it’s a series, and then run back to the store to buy the next one and then buy all the rest on amazon! Seriously the worst. I’ve been trying to get through my books that aren’t series at the moment, so I can get my TBR pile much much smaller!

That’s such a great plan. I should try and attack my TBR that way. It’s hard because a lot of time stand alone books becomes series. Drives me crazy! haha. Yeah, I’m trying to be better about not starting a lot of series that are close to finishing. I can just collect the books and then binge read them when it’s all said and done!
