• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

 Thrillers are not usually my cup of tea, but I enjoyed this one, largely because it balanced out the darkness and brokenness of the world and family relationships with a couple of characters who were just really kind and lovely people. 

 I also appreciated the themes around the sensationalization of true crime, privacy, and just generally people being jerks on the internet.
