Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ALC of this book.
A boy who froze to death. A girl determined to sleuth out what happened. The person that connects them both.
This was a murder mystery with strong themes of homophobia. I enjoyed the story and trying to figure out what exactly had happened, but I absolutely hated the main characters. They were annoying and extremely judgmental, constantly making comments about other people in their own heads, which I hate in books. This is one thing if the character then grows and changes, but that didn't happen in this one at all.
Also....really just no character in this is likeable. Maybe that is on purpose? But I didn't enjoy that about it at all. And the ending was very sad. So...this is not a happy book.
