3.0
This book has an interesting premise, some exciting parts, and a mystery that kept me guessing. However, the main characters aren't very compelling (especially the POV character, who spends most of the book dithering about whether or not to do anything) and there is a huge expanse of pages in the middle of the book where nothing really happens. I feel like 200 pages could easily be cut without losing much. It's a shame because it started out with a bang but by the time the big twist is revealed I didn't really care anymore.
Graphic: Animal death, Car accident, Confinement, Medical content, Panic attacks/disorders, and Kidnapping
Moderate: Blood, Cursing, Gun violence, and Sexual content
Minor: Toxic relationship and Vomit
A character struggles a bit with internalized homophobia/biphobia
