The Cousins by Karen M. McManus

𝓑π“ͺ𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 4/5 ⭐️

The Cousins by Karen M. McManus follows Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story. They are all cousins but they hardly know each other. When they are invited back to their grandmothers island whom they have never met after she disinherited their parents. The entire family is hiding secrets. 

This YA mystery is medium-paced with four different POV’s. We have the cousins and then a flash back POV. This was a super quick and easy read. Well developed story line and mostly likable characters. 

Dysfunctional family drama, estranged family dynamics, secrets, and lies. This was mysterious and the twist at the end was definitely a good one!

I would recommend to those who enjoy YA mysterious with strong family drama and dynamics.
