I used to love Nancy Drew as a kid. It was one of the main series that made me into such an avid reader; however, reading them as a more sophisticated and educated young adult now, I was not blown away.

The reading experience itself with these books aren't brilliant. Thy are mildly entertaining but the charm is more of its "brand". To get to read Nancy Drew that I've hard about since I was a kid but never read myself. Sort of false nostalgia

2 stars. My least favorite in the series so far. This one was hard to read just because Nancy and Ned were both being such unlikable jackasses. Their relationship mess overshadowed the case which was annoying. Nancy had all of her damn nerve seeing as how she had that thing with that guy in the first book. Not to say that Ned was right for flirting (and kissing! wtf????) Sondra because he was trash af for that but she was ready to risk it all for ol' boy in the first book so she had no room to talk. So annoying. Sucks because the premise of this one had potential to be so much fun but instead it reads like a teenage soap opera. No thanks.

I absolutely loved it! A much more modern spin on the classic detective, with just the right hint of romance, danger and intrigue! Ive already started looking up the rest of this series! Nancy gets hired to figure out whose writing threatening letters to the magazine owner, but get a lot more than she bargained for, including a bout of jealousy!

I love the 80s description of clothes. Not one of my ultimate favorites because of Nancy's attitude toward Ned and how easily the case is to be solved.

Nancy treated Ned like crap in this one and the book made it seem like it wasn't that big of a deal and it was partly his fault.

i didn’t plan on reading nancy and neds divorce agreement with this book but it was 70% relationship drama and 30% mystery. at least the setting was cool

I read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys throughout my school and college days.
Nancy Drew is an amateur detective who solves crimes with occasional help from her best friends, Bess and George and, her boyfriend Ned. She also has occasional help from her father Carson Drew who runs a private law practice. From finding stolen goods to missing persons and solving mysterious happenings, Nancy is a force of nature.
Until I discovered that Carolyn Keene is a pen name for a whole bunch of ghostwriters, I used to feel confused about the slight differences in each character from books to book over the many series of Nancy Drew mysteries. I like the character of Nancy best in the original books written by Mildred Wirt Benson where Nancy is truly a character to root for – an independent and street smart girl with a penchant for trouble.
