This kind of storytelling, where it's different characters tied to this town in some way, and there's a lead up to some big encounter between them all - it's a great formula.
I kind of thought the ending was a bit of a letdown, things were "resolved" fairly tidily but I honestly can't remember what happens to everyone just a few days later.
The roommates diving deeper into animal cruelty trying to impress Blandine seemed a false note. I don't think we got enough motivation that made sense, unless they were representative of Vacca Vale and its deterioration. Moses was a gross character that weirdly ended up entirely too reformed without any reason in my opinion.
Borrowed from library, may consider buying in the future.
