Review
In the final instalment of the Bookish Boyfriends series, a real life mystery is underway at Reginald R. Hero High. For Huck, he just wants to get through the school year, especially after recording a video that later went viral showing how sexist his science teacher was, and embarrassing a fellow student. Dealing with the aftermath of the video, and his growing feelings for his Knight Light mentor, Curtis' younger brother, Win, he isn't expecting Ms. Gregoire to assign him a book that will change his life. But it seems he must channel Sherlock Holmes to discover just who is targeting Win in tanking his transfer application, and causing others to hate him in a faked iLive account. Will Huck and Win manage to discover the truth before the application deadline passes, or is this teenage detective in over his head?
I have adored each and every one of these books, and was both overjoyed, and gutted, when my copy of Get a Clue landed on my doorstep. We've met both Huck and Win before, in the previous books as side characters, but them having their own story was amazing. Huck has always kept a low profile at Hero High, starting late as a new kid, and only really had Rory and Curtis as his friends. His first meeting with Win, Curtis' younger brother, was like fate, and the attraction was clear to all. Both were shy at first, but soon grew extremely close. I loved the mystery surrounding Win's stalker/saboteur, though I had worked out quite early who it was. I loved seeing Win and Huck's relationship flourish, though, as well as seeing characters from previous books. This book was the perfect conclusion to the series, and as gutted as I am that the series is over, I couldn't have asked for anything more. If you haven't picked these books up yet, you really need to!
