I honestly only picked up this book because it was set in Ireland and that's not representation that I usually get, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! Part of that is definitely because it was set in Ireland, so naturally I had no problem understanding the Dublin accent or any slang. The characters were interesting and mostly well-developed, although one or two were somewhat flat and felt more like fillers than anything else. The LGBT+ representation was definitely appreciated as well! The plot was also interesting, but I felt like it left many questions unanswered and I found the ending unsatisfying since the group's "solution" could easily have been done on purpose many years ago, which would have saved a lot of trouble (and lives!)
