Lena's pov in this book was a struggle to get through. Sara Linton has her pinned perfectly - her whole schtick is to be as difficult and as aggravating as possible. I kept vacillating between feeling sorry because of all she's been through or pissed about how she takes it out on everyone. I feel like that's going to be the norm whenever she's present in the story. 🫠

The story itself was pretty average, to be honest. I was only halfway invested in the mystery, which was a bummer. I think Lena being Lena throughout kinda put me off for most of the story.
