Not my favourite MZ book but definitely enjoyed it very much! Nobody can do slow burn like MZ, nailed it every time. 

My only issue with the book is how DUI is downplayed.
When Sal confirmed that Kulti’s license was suspended due to DUI and she said and I quote: “People made mistakes all the time. He had a right to make them as much as the next person.”, it just does not sit well with me. Yes, no one got hurt, but someone could. I feel like DUI is treated as some petty crimes when it could literally kill an innocent person, a family, any road user. That is so irresponsible and I wish that was stressed more and Kulti showed more remorse or Sal had reprimanded it seriously instead of brushing it off and making excuses for him.
