But I felt so frustrated by the MC (static and underdeveloped), the interview scenes (tortuous), and the ending
I don’t know if Gailey intends to return to Ivy’s world, but I don’t think I’d follow if they do.

It's a bit of a miracle Ivy managed to solve this case considering she spends the majority of the book drunk, hungover, obsessing about her new crush and worrying about her relationship with her sister. Gailey tries to dig deeper with themes of parent death, identity and estrangement but it just fell flat for me.
