I loved The Golden Spoon, so I was thrilled to be approved for this book. I really enjoyed it! The advice columns were fun to read and added something a little different than usual. Raymond and Janice were amusing side characters and added some humor. I thought I had the mystery all figured out, but while I did have some things right, there was a lot I got wrong. Alex is a mostly likable main character, but she did things that annoyed me a couple of times. There isn't a lot of action is this book, but the author has an easy-to-read writing style that makes the pages fly by. I Need You to Read This wasn't quite as good as The Golden Spoon for me, but it was still an entertaining mystery. 4.5 stars rounded down.

Also, that cover is amazing and super eye-catching! It made me want to read it before I even realized who the author was.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC.

I will post this on Goodreads and Amazon on or near publication date as per the publisher's request.
