This book certainly kept you guessing. The clues were all there to know
who the bad guy/girl (I don't want to give away gender of the offender)
was. I enjoyed reading this and very much will be looking for the next
book if there is one. The romance wasn't as rushed as some YA books.
There were some characters that I was routing for that didn't get a
satisfying ending. The puzzles that the bad person left for Nearly were
clever. I'm not sure I could have figured them out. They use a blend of
scientific and literature knowledge. Kudos to Elle Cosimano for
inventing such smart clues. And let this be a lesson to all the teens
out there - know your Shakespeare, physics and chemistry! You never know
when a serial killer will taunt you with that knowledge.
I hope
we will see more of Nearly. She was an interesting character. She was
smart, but impulsive. Clearly was a deep thinker, yet she reacted on
emotion. I think there is more room to explore between her and her mom
and definitely need more answers about her dad. There was a strong
message that you can take charge of your own life and lead a completely
different one than your parents. Education is strongly encouraged as a
vehicle for that change.
I really enjoyed this one, and the
person I thought was the culprit was not. The whole enjoyment of this
book is that you don't know who did it, but when you find out, it makes
perfect sense. I will be looking for more from this author.
There is language in this book and kissing, but no sex.
This book will release on March 25, 2014.
