I’ve really got to start reading the content warnings. This one felt really graphic and I found myself skipping a lot of scenes. It was a super interesting concept and I thought it was handled well enough, though I did find a few typos which sucked. I don’t think I would have picked this book up if I had seen the content warnings.

Overall I was intrigued on the mystery and liked the short chapters and pace. However the transphobic terms and misgendering of a character however minor made me not like the book as much.

An absolute must read, it is un put a down able. 100% on the edge of your seat reading. However, at some points, I think there could have been some more descriptions. Nice short chapters throughout the book, which made me feel like I was reading quicker than I actually was.
