What did I think? That all the low ratings and critical reviews were wrong? That I will be able to relate to drinking and abusive teenagers and all of a sudden like YA literature? That there will be an unexpected twist that will turn my opinion around? That I will not be bothered by the protagonist constantly eschewing adverbs? (Or will stop wondering if the grammar issue is the protagonist's or the author's?) What WAS I thinking?!

3.5/4⭐️ I enjoyed but was definitely a step down from her last two books and didn’t have the same level of compelling story line. She does get brownie points in my eyes though for not just replicating one of her earlier successes and trying a new plot angle vs. some other mystery writers who just produce the same story in different fonts
