I enjoyed the overall vibe and mystery of this book, but I found the mystery wrap-up in the end to be rushed, a bit underwhelming, and confusing. Barbara was a great main character, and I would definitely read another book about her if there is a sequel. The social commentary was right up my alley, but I can definitely see it being off-putting to some readers.
