-Sapphic
-Women in STEM
-I hate men
-murder mystery
-unnecessary historical fiction?? felt like the historical fiction part was an after thought, but maybe that was me not paying complete attention the entire time
-the actually mystery/thriller part was stretched out and slow which i didn’t like
-but the last like 1.5-2 hours were entertaining

I was hyped for this book back when I heard about it but was pretty let down. It’s not a bad book, it’s just so meh. It dragged more than I would’ve thought for the mystery/thriller portion of the plot. The sapphic romance was not expected, but having romance at all seemed a bit misplaced since it since it was just kind of there. The way racism was dealt with also felt a bit off too. We have one Black code breaker dealing with it, but it always felt like an afterthought added in like “Well this is this 1940s… gotta be realistic!” If you like historical fiction and girls doing the thing, with some serial killer murder, this could still be the book for you.
