Review:
Aside from the ridiculously long title, this book was really enjoyable! Very engaging and quirky. I was on hook, line and sinker from the moment Delilah and Ethan first laid eyes on each other. Great slow burn beginning tempered with the central mystery made it a page turner for me. Delilah is hilarious and I really enjoyed her character humor, as well as her relationship with Mom and aunt. Honestly, I was turned off by a situation involving a teacher being offensive and viciously rude to Delilah. I found it very unbelievable and every scene involving them together stuck out like a sore thumb in an otherwise well-written book. 5 Stars for a quirky and funny coming of age mystery!
