The Inheritance Games

The description (and, uh, title) of this made it sound kind of like a YA Westing Game and I was like, sounds cool! But then the book itself is, well, it's no Westing Game. It's not even good? Like the terms of this inheritance are dumb. The puzzles are dumb. The love interest brothers are confusingly interchangeable. It's fast-paced enough that I kept reading but on every page I just kept thinking: dumb.

Also it ends on a dumb cliffhanger.

Did I mention I thought this book was dumb?

There are some readers who might be more charmed by the premise of becoming a very rich teenager with a live-in love triangle, and those readers might be willing to overlook the stupid simplicity of it? Like it's a good, engaging hook that might grab some readers, for sure.
