The story of Stella and Ellie kept me intrigued. However, there was a lot of story build up before the murder happened, so it felt like a really long time before the mystery finally got started. I didn’t suspect the outcome at all, which in my opinion is a good thing. The cross country stuff was actually pretty interesting to me but the day to day lives of these kids felt unrealistic. The fact that both sisters kept some major secrets from their parents and each other really bothered me as a mom. One secret in particular was especially hard for me and it made it difficult for me to enjoy the book. Maybe I’m just too old or too much of a mom of teens to simply enjoy this type of YA read.
I also feel there are some content warnings for this book but I don’t want to give any spoilers.
