This book was a very well-written mystery because it kept you interested and eager for what

was to come but it didn't cause too much suspense or anxiety which I liked. I loved how it

showed the growth in the relationship between Hannah and Bailey alongside the mystery of

Owen's disappearance; it kept a key emotional feeling attached to the more spontaneous action

of the main plot. Overall this book is super fun and exciting to read and I would recommend it to

anyone and everyone.
