Such a fun and quirky young adult murder mystery!! It explored a love for birding, a money laundering cult, the murder of a next door neighbor, nonbinary identity, and friendships/relationships. Oh and it starts off talking about whether or not lesbian sheep exist, it really had me giggling from the start!

Well this was delightful. It's got some very strong Rear Window vibes, which I absolutely loved. The audiobook was phenomenal and I adored Vico Ortiz's narration. I loved Bianca as a protagonist, and the journey she goes on - both personally and in terms of investigating a murder - was truly a joy to read. 

The mystery was full of twists and turns that kept me guessing, I related to Bianca's anxiety issues more than I'd like to admit, and I really enjoyed the friendships and relationships that develop in the course of the story. All in all? I had a ton of fun with this and I'm really glad I read this.
