# The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

A fun read. Flavia is a borderline-sociopathic girl, brilliant in some ways but still young & naive in others. It makes for a wonderfully unique mystery as she, if not quite an unreliable narrator, at least an inexperienced one.

My only gripe is that the substance of Flavia’s character seemed to bend to the story’s needs in the moment. Sometimes she could be ruthless only to be saccarine-sweet moments later. Perhaps that’s just part of being a teenage girl though?
