This was such an interesting concept. The story grabbed me from the beginning and I found that I didn't want to put it down. The characters and mystery were compelling and I especially loved the friendships and witty banter. Also enjoyed the "alternative 1987" setting. Music and culture references were very fun. I was surprised by the mild profanity and taken-for-granted teen drinking (obviously common but not really necessary to the story IMO - and extra surprising from a Christian Fiction publisher? There was no Christ element but I did expect it to be considered a "clean" read at minimum....) As it ends with a cliff-hanger, I am looking forward to the next book.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
