Ex Marks the Spot by Gloria Chao
3.5
adventurous hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'm not sure audiobook was the way to go with this one because there are a lot of puzzles and clues to keep track of. I will fully admit I got lost in some of the treasure hunting because of it. However, it's still an enjoyable read! The descriptions of food are especially well done. I challenge you to read this when you're hungry!

Overall, the characters were well developed and I appreciated Xander and Gemma's changing relationship throughout the book as they both learned family secrets. The exes to lovers trope is always fun, and it's made more fun here with the treasure hunt!
