Overall, I enjoyed the book but I feel like the book had too much “fluff” and could have been wrapped up a lot quicker than it was. I did learn a lot about SMA so I did enjoy that aspect.

Enjoyed the plot and learning about SMA. Some elements were problematic enough to take away from really enjoying as much as I would have liked. Three biggest issues for me were the fact that this isn't own voice (obvious from page one and my bad for not researching that before I purchased), virtue signaling, and some ridiculously convenient plot points. I finished it though because I really liked Daniel, Travis, and Marjani and cared about finding out what happened. Makes it hard to figure out what to rate it overall.

Easy breezy football season read. It's clear that the author cares so much for Athens and UGA, and that really made me happy. The mystery/thriller aspect is certainly there, but most of the book focuses on the relationships between the characters and the protagonist's life. Nothing fancy, but just what I needed.
