Weird and different in the best way! This book was highly creative and SO MUCH fun while keeping me guessing to the end. At one point, I thought I'd figured out the killer, only to be proven so very wrong. Dee is the kind of character that you feel a deep, personal connection with, almost like he's your real-life best friend. His sincerity and I-don't-give-a-damn attitude make you want someone like him in your life. I can't wait to see what Frances White comes up with next!

This book was *gripping*, like can’t put it down, thinking about it when I’m not reading sort of adventure. I loved the characters, the world building,  the humor, and the first 85% of the book. I think if I had gone in with the mindset of this being a New Adult rather than Adult book I would have appreciated the end more than I did. Still it was an incredible world and an absolutely wild mystery - and phenomenal writing. Between that and the incredible queer and disabled rep, White is definitely on my must-read author list now.

 You know what... Yeah. I'll give it four stars. It was really fun! I do agree with other reviewers that it was YA, despite the protagonist being 22. I was actually expecting more blood and gore. There was some, but it wasn't out of control or uber graphic. The writing and execution of the plot were pretty simple. I think I liked reading this book so much because it's one I would have LOVED in high school. Snarky main character, murder mystery, charming relationships. It wasn't perfect, but it was really fun! And the cover is GORGEOUS
