The author appears to have done zero research about the climate of places in the US. There's a point where a character asks about living in Chicago, and the other person in the conversation says it's "freezing 10 months of the year, and nice the other 2", or something to that effect. What? No. Not even kind of. The book is supposed to be set in New York state, which should have a pretty similar climate to Illinois, maybe even a little colder on average.

CW: there's a character that has a disabled sister and he routinely refers to her as broken, damaged, etc., and insinuates that her life is barely worth living due to her disability. It was gross. There's also a plot point of child abuse and homelessness. 

The writing was okay at best, though the plot itself was alright. I had to push through at some points and probably won't read this author again.

Better than I expected! I was annoyed with the characters for the first 50ish pages but I quickly got sucked in to the game and the thrill and by the end I was fully invested in all of the characters. I liked the ending even though its a bit unbelievable and/or too neat.
