Title: Enjoyable reading, not very convincing mystery
Review: This is a pleasant, light romance, masquerading as a mystery. The mystery is not very convincing, but there is a surprise at the end that actually works. The protagonist is likable, reminds me of many people who are unsure of themselves, but mask it with a manner of assurance. I get the feeling that the author is sheltered, not really very experienced, idealistic, and doesn't know as much as she pretends about gangs, violence, and racism. The whole story is a little naive, but well-intentioned, and easy/pleasant to read.
