This Adventure Ends

Summary: Sloane isn't expecting to fall in with a group of friends when she moves from New York to Florida—especially not a group of friends so intense, so in love, so all-consuming. Yet that's exactly what happens.
Sloane becomes closest to Vera, a social-media star who lights up any room, and Gabe, Vera's twin brother and the most serious person Sloane's ever met. When a beloved painting by the twins' late mother goes missing, Sloane takes on the responsibility of tracking it down, a journey that takes her across state lines—and ever deeper into the twins' lives.
Filled with intense and important friendships, a wonderful warts-and-all family, shiveringly good romantic developments, and sharp, witty dialogue, this story is about finding the people you never knew you needed.
My Review: Okay, I loved this book. I loved the well rounded characters, the fun dialogue, and the complexity of the plot. I loved that Sloane was a girl covered in razor wire, who slowly unfolds. I loved that her family is beautifully complex, especially her relationship with her dad. This little contemporary packs a big punch and the mystery at the center of it makes it all the more satisfying.
