A little something for everyone, and absolute peak YA reading candy! I loved how true the phrase "puzzles on puzzles, and riddles upon riddles" was for this book, not to mention all of the characters -- especially the inclusion of unlikeable ones, and others who confronted Avery about her bad friend habits and communication.

Not surprisingly there are romantic possibilities between two of the Hawthorne brothers, and I appreciated that the choice wasn't left as a cliffhanger (though for sure a source of character growth for all parties involved).
