This book was a treat for me to read. So different from what I've been reading lately that it was a welcome change. This book is quirky, funny, and just plain fun to read. I loved the wide variety of characters and I couldn't help but notice how they are all so different but in the end they all have a piece of themselves to give to each other. They are all very charming in their own way and I love the lifelong friendships that were created in this book. The 'mystery' part of it is so fun to follow because it delves back in to history and ancient secret societies, but uses modern day technology (Google!) to figure out just what is going on. It shows us that both ends of the spectrum are important and relevant. A short, quick read and one that I couldn't put down. I loved the audio version of this book!
