Just finished this on audio. It's a chaotic hot mess that's confusing, strange, disjointed and messily written, but somehow addicting enough to keep going. The cliffhanger at the end got me hooked, so here I am, diving into book two. Let's see if it gets better or if I'm just a sucker for punishment!

Read this book because a friend and tik tok. Had a hard time wanting to even pick up the book after starting it. Only stayed to find who killed grandma (Gigi). Also, really didn’t like the main characters but loved most of the side characters like Daya, Sibby, and Jay.
