Aside from the disturbing story (which is not edgy), this book has pacing issues and generally too many plot holes. Also why doesn't the main character have a name? It's frustrating. He and Millicent are bland suburban parents and this book reads much the same. The sub-plots are uninteresting and the twist was mishandled and given no real attention or weight. Honestly a huge pass. Women don't exist just to be murdered.
