HOWEVER, the plot turned out to be quite underwhelming. For a mystery/thriller, it was very linear and if you're familiar with the genre I feel like the culprit is an easy guess. Some other things I didn't like was that apart from Mila, the characters felt a little flat, and I didn't like the whole bully-redemption arc. June and Dayton were literally racist and fatphobic towards Mila while they were living and within a week everyone was buddy-buddy? Not a big fan of that.
All that being said I did like this book, and loved where Mila ended up by the end of it. I would be super interested in reading more books about her life!
