Absolutely loved all the twists and turns!! I found myself gasping a few times and also pausing to make sure I was understanding some stuff. Absolutely loved it!!

If there was now diversity, this would have easily been 5 stars. I loved the story and the twists. Most were predictable but there was one in particular I didn’t think about and was shocked by. The story felt like a mix between Only Murders in the Building and Twin Peaks

(the secret club/trafficking aspect)

I think this would be a really fun aspect for the author to play off of (Jess solving ~mysteries~). 

The main gripe I have other than lack of diversity is the protest portion of the story. It doesn’t add anything interesting to the story nor is it necessary (imo).

this was great! it did take a minute to fully get into but not that long — all of a sudden I was sooo invested! i carried this book everywhere with me this week even going out last night lol i honestly could not imagine sitting on the train not reading it. and a great ending with multiple twists I wasn’t expecting. loved it!
