I enjoyed the format of this book and how personal the journal entries were, but at the same time it was almost a bit too much. A lot of it leaves you feeling a bit sad

This book was incredibly well-written. Lockhart writes in a way that I only hope to one day. It's beautifully descriptive, raw, and honest; yet also dramatic, twisty, and confusing in all the right ways. The romance is neither cheesy nor predictable, and it's safe to say you'll have many literary double-takes. When you read the book's description, you assume you're getting a classic mystery and an interesting story. (I am not one for mystery reads myself, and picked this on a whim.) However, everything about it makes you want to keep reading, regardless of your typical choice of genre. A lovely read that will surprisingly require some deeper thinking.
