I received this book via a Goodreads Giveaway. 

I loved this book so much. I didn't know before reading it that there would be queer characters. But there's so many queer characters and it makes me so happy to see the representation!

At face value this book is a mystery book. But it's so much more than that. It explores complex themes like : burnout, the consequences of being a gifted child, the importance of friendship and other interpersonal relationships, and why communication is so important.

I'm hope Katie Siegel continues writing books. I'm excited for anything she writes next.
