The mystery is so full of plot holes, and the ending felt extremely rushed and completely unfinished.
Hashtags in stories. Once or twice I understand depending on the premise. But every single time Maddy takes and posts a picture? Way too much.
Maddy starts off pretty vapid and shallow, just as spoiled as her great-aunt claimed and even more annoying. Those hashtags didn't help. Nor did her being so mistrusting to suddenly trusting everyone.
And can I please vent about how a grown woman didn't know how to cook eggs and I had to read three kindle pages worth of her struggle & breakdown.
Aside from all of that, I did somehow enjoy it? Once there were finally large chunks of mystery solving & no hashtags in sight I could get into the story. Baby totally stole the show, though.
I'll probably read the next book because I'm trying to be better with completing series, and there's only two right now, but it's not a top priority at the moment.
