“Just do this one thing for me.” Drew’s mother says it more often than good morning. Heidi Hill has been juggling shady side hustles for all of Drew’s seventeen years, and Drew knows that “one thing” really means all the necessary things her mother thinks are boring, including taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother. In fact, Drew is the closest thing to a responsible adult they’ve ever known. When their mother disappears on the way to a New Year’s Eve concert in Mexico and her schemes start unraveling, Drew is faced with a choice: Follow the rules, do the responsible thing, and walk away–alone–from her mother’s mess. Or hope the weather stays cold, keep the cons going, and just maybe hold her family together.

This was so much funnier than the subject matter would lead you to believe. I quite like Drew's voice and the strong sibling bonds brought this particular only child to tears by the end. 4 faulty product reviews out of 5.
3.5 stars rounded up because it is good, I enjoyed it, but there were aspects that just really felt unnecessary or like strings left unwoven.
More funny than sad with some dark humor, but really just a book about a girl trying to protect her siblings but getting in over her head from the lies.
100% wouldn't call this a mystery. Mostly just a contemporary.
