I liked how the book slowly unfolded the mystery. I didn’t particularly like any of the characters. The protagonist’s self-harm and eating disorder felt out of place in this story, and didn’t make me like the character much, other than illustrating how beat down she was was everyone including herself.
Look at trigger warnings before reading this book, cause it has a lot.
