This was VERY light on the mystery aspect in my opinion, but as a contemporary with eerie/mystery vibes, I still enjoyed it. I just wished it was more of a mystery to be honest! I would be disappointed if I’d actually purchased the hardback, but since I got it from the library thanks to my sister, I’m satisfied. 3.5 stars.
