A well paced book that kept me engaged. The storyline was believable for the first 3/4 of the book, then it became a bit far fetched for me

The biphobic tropes in this book are not it. Writing a bi woman as a hypersexual cheater who can’t commit or do monogamy is a really dangerous stereotype that leads to IPV. 

It’s an okay mystery but I can’t overlook the laziness of writing those harmful stereotypes and the harm they do.
