Rating: 3.5 Stars

Busted was an entertaining read, filled with plenty of drama, humor, and plot twists.

•Pro: This story was a lot of fun. The overall feeling of the book was on the lighter side, and it was quite humorous.

•Pro: I had heard a lot of people referencing Veronica Mars when discussing this book, and I have to say, I saw shades of my favorite teen PI as well. There were some interesting and amusing situations Marisa got herself into, and she had that signature VMars wit as well.

•Pro: TJ was pretty fabulous. The more I got to know him, the more I loved him.

•Pro: Marisa's was awesome and I loved her narration. I also thought she had some really special character traits, and I couldn't get enough of her.

•Con: Kendall was the worst. I abhorred her, but I guess that was the intention.

•Pro: The romance had some really swoony moments, and I was shipping TJ and Marisa even before they were a thing. They had good chemistry, and their interactions were a delight to observe.

•Con: There was this secondary plot, which wasn't bad, it held my interest, but I thought it took away from the original focus of the story.

•Pro: Marisa's squad was great. I really enjoyed when they were all together working on the "case".

•Pro: Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, another twist was thrown in. There were quite a few surprises, which kept me on my toes.

•Pro: Siblings!!! Marisa and Nick were great together. Their banter was hilarious, and I could definitely feel the love between those two as well.

Overall: A fun and fast-paced story with lots of twists and turns, that is bound to hold your interest.
