I enjoyed the mystery and the bits of suspense, which was quite perfect for a YA read. Not super fast paced, but moved along at a decent pace. I enjoyed all the characters, but the story really didn't delve much more into them, so I couldn't quite connect with them. I do love a good happy ending, so I was happy to read the little updates on everyone at the end.
