I'm mad I finished it. 

I do not understand the hype around this book at all. The pacing is wildly inconsistent, somehow nearly all of the characters are misogynistic, and there is an over reliance on cringey and unnecessary plot devices.
Worst of all, they don't resolve the mystery by the end, like not even a little.
