Bottom line - the thing that made me stop this book were religious references and whatever brand of religious trauma i seem to carry with me. 
I kept reading it, because the concept seeming interesting - a cozy mystery with a wlw romance between women approaching 60 seems really interesting - but ultimately there wasn't enough to make me keep going until the end.
I enjoyed the way the author described the surroundings and people and it seemed quite atmospheric to me. 
I think the mystery has a lot of potential.
I really enjoyed the two teenage characters in the story. And I really appreciated the inclusion of characters and the representation of those in recovery and of the story line of teenage pregnancy. 
Unfortunately, the quirks of the two main characters may work for some people, but for me... they just weren't my people, and bc of that I couldn't get into their romance. If you are someone who would enjoy that type of personality it wouldn't be a problem, but for me it was too much of a "i'm a weirdo" vibe. 
I really hope to pick other books from this publisher/author in the future that better fit my reading preferences.
