3.0

This was a weaker mystery than the others in the Truly, Devious series. A little harder to follow and more of a guess at the end. The travel through London dragged the story to me, but others might find that part interesting. The more social drama between Stevie and her friend group was interesting though; I would have liked to see more of them to offset how annoying Stevie is in this one! The book leaves off on a cliffhanger that I think will have me coming back.

I really enjoyed this book! I found it a bit slower paced than the previous books, but regardless it was an incredible book still!

a lot was left up to debate so I’m wondering if there will be another book or if it’s just meant to be an open ending
