Love a book with two female leads who were imperfect but written well. But I think the plot just didn’t cut it for me.

This felt very much like an episode of a detective show on TV. Predictable twists with no real surprise in the end. The author didn't do a great job of making me care about the characters. The character development felt very superficial. Some plot lines didn't really make sense. Very disappointed.
