Really clever take on meta mystery, which is becoming more and more of a popular genre these days. It’s relatively rare to find an author in favor of the “death of the author” philosophy in any real sense, but Horowitz definitely advocates for that position in this book, which is refreshing. Very cozy read. Not as subversive as I would have assumed based on the conceit, but I didn’t mind that much by the end.
Graphic: Body shaming, Chronic illness, Toxic relationship, Fatphobia, Death, Fire/Fire injury, Terminal illness, Suicide, and Xenophobia
Moderate: Animal death
Minor: Ableism, Homophobia, and Misogyny
