This book has one of the most accurate and powerful depictions of anxiety that I have ever read - in fact, I found it quite stressful to read at times (though also hard to put down). The story itself was kind of so-so, but the main character is so well drawn that I had to bump it up to 4 stars.
Graphic: Mental illness
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Toxic friendship

This is exactly my kind of sci-fi. A quiet, slow burn mystery on a far-flung planet with an exceptionally unreliable narrator. I guessed some bits but thought the series of steady reveals was skillfully done as was the exploration of mental illness though check the trigger warnings on this one if you’re so inclined.

Oof. This was a heavy read. Exciting and action-packed, but very heavy and triggering topics.
Wasn't too keen on the ending, but overall it was a very good book.
TW: death, murder, suicidal ideation, child death, mental illness.
