I really thought this book had potential, but it went in a different direction than I hoped. It was a pretty good mystery novel, which is what I purchased. But there was too much high-school type romance in it for me. "Does he like me? I like him. I hope he likes me. I shouldn't be having these feelings, but I can't help myself". I found myself fast-forwarding through those parts. The story was pretty good and kept me guessing. The characters were only so-so for me. All in all, if you like your mystery books with a heavy dose of romance, this is a good book for you. If not, I wouldn't recommend it. One note - another reviewer noted that the publication date didn't jibe with the cultural references of the book. I very much agree. It seemed like it was written years before the date on the book. Maybe that was intentional and, if so, kudos. But I'm not sure.
