Graphic story. There wasn’t a trigger warning at the start of the book, but it could have used one. I thought the mystery was intriguing, but it was long. I listened 100% on audio and tuned out/fell asleep at times. It was a 3.75 for me, but I was sobbing during Part VII imagining my son all grown up and not needing me anymore, so my heart gave this 4 stars for making me feel something.

Floppy disks but also a Taylor Swift song reference? I am confused on when this takes place. Also very graphic.
