Honestly, I understand the idea. It was a great idea. The plot is good... But oh men, it was so long. I am sure the mysterious death of Nola could have been solved way faster than that. I don't understand why, all book long, we had a suspect then no suspect then too many suspects, etc etc. We were circling around everything for 800 pages. I'm sure I would have loved how it was written (between present and past from the author's POV) normally but not this time. It was only confusing and eternal.
If someone wants a recommendation from me, I will say that there are other great mystery books before this one...

That aside the rest of the story is good, nothing exceptional but still nice to read. Though it was WAY too long for what it is.
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship and Child abuse
Moderate: Mental illness, Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, and Violence
Minor: Homophobia
The whole story centres the relationship betwewn a 34-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl, which is treated as "true love". Also probably not true depiction of mental illness.
