Had this at 4.75 rating but have since decided I'm too in love with it and it's close enough to 5 stars anyway. 

I highly recommend this for anyone in love with reading about a close group of friends. The mystery aspect was fine and definitely enjoyable. Though, the book was agonizingly slow at most parts in my personal opinion. But the friendship made me fall in love anyway and saved the whole thing for me. It was honestly my favorite thing about the book and without it I would have stopped reading tbh. This found family MADE this story for me and I'll always love these characters!! Definitely a new fave!!
