Minor Detail my Adania Shibli. The ending felt kinda abrupt to me

"Kept reading them" is a stretch because it's a while since I read the last murder mystery, but well... I had to find out somehow if I dislike the entire genre or just picked a bunch of books I would've disliked anyways.

Goodreads keeps recommending me whodunnits after I read a murder-free book about boxers. Not only do those books have nothing in common with the novel I read, I also rated almost all the murder mysteries I read badly.

>Why do most YA books contain romantic relationships when the protagonist(s) are/is a teenager or young adult?
Considering that many people have their first romantic adventures during or shortly after puberty, I'm honestly not surprised that YA books try to tackle such things.
