📚 This book is pitched as THE WESTING GAME for adults and it absolutely is. Twisty, clever, funny, and populated with wonderfully unique characters.
📚 Tuesday is fantastic. I love that she leads a full, fulfilling life and is openly happy being single and without children. Her love interest in this story is an intriguing side quest, not the main objective.
📚 This book is also a love letter to Boston, both its history and its modern incarnation.
📚 On top of the wild mystery, this book also gets deep into some serious topics, most of them centering around the costumes we wear to present ourselves to the world every day and how we can break free of them to be our authentic selves.
📚 It dragged a little in the middle, in particular a few chapters where it seemed unlikely that they could take this much time off from the game to deal with other plots and not be overtaken by other players.
