To start off this review, Lamar Giles actually lives really close to where I do and went to a university that a lot of people I know go to, which is super ambiguous but really cool imo. This kind of is like a little bit thriller/mystery, and I enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting. It wasn't my favorite book in the world to be honest, but I didn't guess who was the murderer in the end until near the end, which is an aspect I enjoy about mysteries. If it's too easy for me to guess, then it's way too easy for thriller/mystery fanatics, so I like a little bit of a surprise at the end. I also really liked how there are lots of PoC characters, which is rare I find in books. It wasn't absolutely gripping, but it was nice.
