I loved the concept of the book and the writing and dry humour was really good. Also having the unlikable main character was a nice change from the standard books you usually read. However, at times the plot did drag on unnecessarily. And what was that plot twist at the end?! Like I know they should be surprising but it was long and there wasn’t even hints about it throughout the book so it was a plot twist that didn’t even make sense, so the ending really let what should have been a great book down.
Graphic: Murder and Death
Moderate: Car accident, Death of parent, Adult/minor relationship, and Grief
