Review: Snarky, witty and outright funny!

Complimentary copy provided by author in exchange for honest review.For me, this book had a somewhat slow start, but once I got past the first chapter the story really began to pick up steam and turned out to be a hilarious ride, complete with a crazy, narcissistic mother, a mythical bisexual man, a creepy stalker, and a guitarist for an up-and-coming band, nicknamed Scoob, a high school classmate who is back in Everglade's life.There are quite a few laugh-out-loud moments in this story, along with plenty of quirk and lots of quick wit, but for the most part I kept feeling like I was missing part of the story, the way some characters were introduced, it almost felt like there was a story before this one that gives a lot more background info on them that what is mentioned in this book (edited to add: I just read that Everglade is a character from Ms. Pine's book "Held"). I also thought it a bit odd that with everything going on in Evie's life, we only see her best friend Amber on and off until chapter 8, after that there's only one other mention of her.It wasn't that hard to figure out the suspenseful part, but the actual offender was an interesting twist to the story. Overall an enjoyable read, and I'm looking forward to reading the next Everglade story.
