• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

dang this book was wild but so good!!! i loved all 3 of the different perspectives. i also appreciate how author wrote this story without including super detailed descriptions of traumatic events (a lot of thrillers i’ve read have failed to do so)
