I really liked the main character because (minus the vehicular manslaughter) she was very relatable. I also liked the plot because it was a new, weird in the best way, murder mystery style. By that I mean that the murder was not the only mystery and wasn't even the main mystery, there was also lots of character development going on so there was lots to think about which I enjoyed. The beginning is a bit slow and there is a bit of weird phrasing which bothered me so it loses points there. I also liked the way that readers were led to like certain characters only for reasons to dislike them to be later revealed.
