I liked this book.
It was a fun, breezy read, but was a cute story with some romance, friendship, a bit of intrigue and mystery, crushes and fun.
I have not read the other books in the series, but this book can stand alone, so it's not necessary to read in sequence.

Summer’s sizzling in the Florida Keys and Robin McGee should be planning for college. Instead, she’s passionately in love with beautiful movie starlet Juliet Francine. Too bad it’s a one-way crush shared by millions of others. Robin’s better off sticking to her summer job and fighting for the equal treatment of GLTBQ teens everywhere. But when Juliet is kidnapped from a film set in Key West, Robin turns amateur sleuth and recruits her friends to help in the search. Soon the FBI, police, and paparazzi are hot on the case as well. As time ticks down and the ransom notes grow dire, Robin will get just one chance to pull off a Hollywood happy ending—and maybe a shot at true love after all.
The Missing Juliet is actually the third book in Sam Cameron’s Fisher Key Adventure series, which I wish had been clear before I pulled it off of Netgalley. The entire book made me feel like I was missing a lot in a lot of aspects.
While reading, the only introductions you get are to Robin, the actors and actresses on the set, and her various love interests. Her other friends were just sort of thrust upon the readers, her family was the same way.
The kidnapping that was the entire premise of the novel is actually extremely misleading, but I won’t spoil anything. The ending felt very rushed and mildly implausible. I found myself checking out while I was reading, which rarely happens.
As such, I didn’t really enjoy the book. Yes, the LGBTQ relationships were great to see, but as a standalone novel, it wasn’t good. The ‘mystery’ was actually pretty lousy, so I’m going with a two star rating.
