Goodreads synopsis

Stephanie Clark has just graduated from high school and secretly dreams of going to college in Miami to study marine biology and help save the oceans. Her finances, however, are making the dream seem impossible. When an anonymous benefactor in her hometown of St. Louis offers a large cash reward to the winner of a scavenger hunt, she dares to hope her dream may come true. While deciphering clues and trying to beat out the competition, Stephanie never expects to cross paths with Camden Mills, a popular boy from high school that she knows little about. Will Stephanie have what it takes to win the scavenger hunt, or will she be sidetracked by Cam’s charms? In this distinctly place-based novel, be transported into the city of St. Louis and come along for the ride as Stephanie gives making her dreams come true one last shot.

Quick Thoughts.

This book was a quick read at only 148 pages, so I only have a few quick thoughts to share. I loved the idea of a city wide scavenger hunt and because it was a shorter length, the story was very fast paced which I think was really nice, it was such a quick fun read. I found the romance to be slightly cheesy but totally okay if you like things on the cutesy side. I think this book would go over really well with younger teens, like those who are just starting to dip their toes into the young adult sub genre.
