Give me a moment to dry my tears before I write a reviewโ€ฆ

The emotional depth, layered plot lines, real characters, family support, friends always being thereโ€ฆand the list goes on. Ugh! I just could not get enough of all of it. I wish I could tell you what I loved the most in the story, but it would create the biggest spoiler ever and yโ€™all would hate me. BUUUTTTT, I will say it revolves around solving a family mystery surrounding the death of the lead MCโ€™s grandparents (which you learn in the synopsis).

Hereโ€™s a hint: Towards the end of the story, I had to pull over as I was driving because I was so emotionally involved and crying my eyes out.

With three narrators, the story and characters fully came to life, and had me falling in love with the story even more.

I buddy read this with Kaley and from the very first chapter we were hooked and flying through the pages. Itโ€™s been awhile since weโ€™ve had a book where we just message each other nonstop while reading, and this story had us discussing so many things during each of the chapters.

Just add it to your summer reading now! NOW! Chop chop! I seriously donโ€™t think youโ€™re moving fast enough to get this book!
