I think I would have rated it higher if the ending wasn't so abrupt. 

The Neighbor Favor

Kristina Forest

DID NOT FINISH

It turns out I can't read about a romance where one Love Interest ghosts the other and then lies about not knowing them. This trope is not my jam.

Two really well plotted crimes but the narration and characters are really ...flat? Detached? It's hard to describe but I probably won't read more of the series due to the narration style .

Edit: lowered my rating a little because actually, I think the ending pissed me off a little

I don't know why I decided to highlight all the paraphrased and direct quotes the musical uses, but I did. One day, I'll read the full novel. It was definitely interesting.

I liked & understood the first story. The rest were more confusing about the underlying message.
