*Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for an eARC of this book in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.*

Y’all, I struggled with this title, and I’m unsure why. 

There is an intriguing mystery – who-/how-/whydunnit? - there are great themes of language, accessibility barriers, family, pandemics, the intersectionality of law enforcement, race, and disability. I enjoy most of what I read while I am actively reading it, but I don’t find myself looking forward to picking it back up and reading more. 

This is a good book! I am just struggling to find the want to read it (which could very well be some reading burnout for me at this current moment and have nothing to do with the book).
