I'll have to come back to review this one properly — still parsing all my feelings — but it's 3.5 stars from me for now.

I loved this so much! Molly is one of my all time favourite characters now, I loved reading from her. Just one of those books that really gets you routing hard for the characters

this book is basically "convenience store woman" but something actually happens. it still didn't really do anything for me though.

the mystery itself isn't that groundbreaking, though i understand that the book is moreso about molly's perspective of the events, and other people's perspectives of her in turn. and of course she's an unreliable narrator.
