4.5
I need more books that revolve around Stevie's crime-solving journey. This book by itself is good. I think that even those who didn't read the Truly Devious series can understand the story.
I gave this book 4.5 stars because all the crime-solving things happened in the last chapter. We know that Stevie interviewed people and all but we didn't understand how she solves it. Yeah sure they explained it at the end but as a reader, I kinda want to be someone that can read Stevie's mind and not just an outsider.
I know people hate David before but I feel like he has character development in this book despite his short appearance time. Also, love Nate so much.
