that being said, i never found myself super excited about the story and so maybe the wow factor of the reveal(s)/conclusion was lost bc too much time passed while i was reading and i wasn’t invested.

This is a noir book, so it fulfills the genre conventions of people getting beat up and shot at regularly (including getting murdered that way). Many of the characters are LGBT+, and they experience period-appropriate homophobic violence and threats to their livelihood. The narrator ends up in a hospital at one point, but no harm to her body or agency takes place there. The narrator's mentor has multiple sclerosis but works in spite of it.qwerty88's review against another edition
