Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The characters' jumps in logic when solving the main mystery of the book were WILDLY far-fetched when compared to The Inheritance Games. I get that the plot must move onward, but the randomness of the clues and their meanings made it hard to participate as the reader.
⁕ The second half of the book redeemed itself through its poignant examination of love and relationships. It gave me all the feels, truly!!
⁕ I love that Barnes gave secondary characters (Rebecca and Max especially) an inch more of the spotlight. More! I want more!
