The only thing about the book that kind of bothered me was how convenient a lot of things were, but I suppose that is what you can expect from a YA detective story that is slightly cheesy. Not sure if I’ll pick up the sequels immediately, but I may check them out some day when I’m in the mood for another quick read. I thought the art style and aesthetic of this book were super cute! The Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys-esque whodunnit plot were very appealing to me when I picked this up. Unfortunately the story felt super rushed; this page length didn't feel like it allowed for the mystery to be fully fleshed out sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I love a fun graphic novel, especially one with lots of spunk like this one! Goldie lives in her Father's resort, and she's great at getting into shenanigans. She's really good at solving tiny cases, like missing jewelry within the hotel. When a bigger mystery comes about, she decides to help a detective solve it since her curiosity is just too high!
Goldie is spunky and fun, everything you want in a character like this. She reminds me of Nancy Drew, Cam Jansen, and those other fun books from my childhood! Except this time, it's in graphic novel form! I can easily see middle graders, young adults, new adults and just adults loving this story. There's really no set age group - it's just a fun mystery!
The illustrations were spectacular and super colourful. They drew my attention in and kept it there, alongside the excellent story. Throw in that this book also has a diverse cast and is LGBT friendly, and I'm even more excited.
Overall, this story was super sweet and cute!
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Boom! Studios for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. ( )
