Hard to review this in any coherent way, but it's a super twisty murder mystery that kept me guessing until the end. I thought the way it unfolded was really interesting, and I very much enjoyed the way the story was constructed. I think the only thing that keeps it from being five stars is the fatphobia in a few of the chapters, which I thought was intensely uncomfortable.
Graphic: Body shaming and Fatphobia
Moderate: Death and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Child death, Drug use, and Gun violence
