Without too many spoilies, this book bounces between two timelines: a US Marshal investigating a decades-old cold case, and the cold case itself. It’s got cults and politics and lots of other interesting things that make it quirky. The misogyny and general horrendousness of most of the characters is a lot to get through, but the story was complex in all the right ways. I do feel a little dissatisfied by certain small plot points, but not enough to let it bother me.
Definitely check out TWs before reading.

I didn’t realize this book was technically a sequel to Pieces of Her until I picked it up and I almost wish I hadn’t read the first. If I didn’t know Laura’s perspective then I probably would have been more on Andrea’s side about the conflict with her mom but I just wanted Andrea and Laura to get along. Seems like there will be more in this story so I hope we see them fully reconcile and not just get a bandaid fix.
Andrea frustrated me a bit but I really think she had a lot of character growth in this book. I loved Bible, he was so freaking likable. I hate Mike. I hated him in the last book and I hated him in this one. He’s not a bad guy per say but he’s incredibly pushy and it really gets under my skin.
