this book was a pretty cool mystery. 

my main issue is that the clues felt all over the place, and that the main character was kinda annoying. she should’ve listened to when she was encouraged to get help, but oh well, her PTSD gave me a good story to read. 

overall, i was interested the whole time i read this book. it was creepy, and mysterious, and just proves that history repeats itself and that solving a crime is tricky.

this book was so adorable !! the romance was cute, the diversity was great, and june & selena were so relatable & adorable <3

my biggest issue with this book was  a lot of the writing. there was a bit of nonsense word choice at times, a couple typos, and an absurd/unnecessary amount of pop culture references that made me cringe, even for me. however, the romance was so great i was able to cope.

for all my KU sapphics, this one is for you <3

1.0

my biggest issue with this book is that they kept referring to kate as her deadname in her chapter titles etc, and that leo kept calling her that after she told him. furthermore, i noticed that in the official book description online (and i’m assuming most copies) that kate is referred to with her deadname which is 😬 (on my copy  she’s only referred as kate). the second half is much more enjoyable than the first. i love kate i think she’s great she really carried the book imo, leo’s cool, kate’s friends are cool, but that’s kinda it.
