This book was so pleasant and clearly written back in the eighties and nineties. AND I LOVED IT. It's so nostalgic for me, which is probably why I enjoyed it so much.
Amanda Hart is a writer (and the editor-in-chief for her school's newspaper). She is going to release a series of stories about the sororities present in her city and someone is NOT happy. They are going after her with vicious notes and threats. When Amanda and her team call upon a courier service, along comes Mick Soul with his handy dandy bicycle. He gets attacked when trying to deliver a copy of their story, and suddenly Hart and Soul wind up working on the mystery together. Mick enrolls in her high school to help figure out who is threatening her... because what else is a bicycle courier supposed to do in his spare time? School? Pfft, no!
It's a "will they, won't they" sort of duo - like Bones and Booth, Ross and Rachel, Jane and Rafael, etc. Hart and Mick have so much chemistry for a middle grade (almost YA) novel that it's unbelievable. Seriously, I just need to finish the series to know if they end up together because they are super flirty in this book!
There's a good cast of characters filling up the typical high school tropes: Jason the nerd who wants his story in the paper, Pepper the best friend, Josh the tech geek, Whitney the mean girl, and so on.
My one big flaw is as followed: you can kind of figure out what's going to happen by the end but it's not really hinted at. I love when mystery books leave you little hints here and there, but there's not much until the end. I had a pretty good inkling of what would happen based off reading way to many mystery books and watching too many mystery shows, but I wanted to work my way through this mystery with Hart and Soul. It doesn't ruin the story by any means, but I'm a picky reader like that.
Side note, this is my FAVOURITE line in the whole book:
"What a slime!"
Seriously, that's a Briar insult from my childhood. Score 1 for that gem!
Overall, this book is cute and fun! I love a good throw back and I'm so glad I found this book. I will 100% be continuing this series, especially since I have the next three books on my shelf. Hopefully I managed to score the rest of the series! This book is an absolute delight and I 100% recommend it either for middle grader/YA readers or some of you as old as me who want a childhood nostalgia trip.
Three out of five stars! ( )
