The Forgotten Keychains by Julian Kennedy

3.0

Dannie (they/them) and Ashlyn (she/her) find some keychains hidden in a house during a real estate photo shoot. They aren't supposed to take things from houses, but Dannie can't stop themself. 

Those keychains may just be the key to solving some of Dannie's mental health issues. But how far will they go to get answers?

This is a mystery/thriller with several twists that I didn't see coming, and some things I did see coming. 

It is multiple POV, which I generally like, but I think there's a point where it's too much. With 5+ points of view and moving back and forth in time, I felt that this one got confusing at times. I felt there were some points of view that could have been left out without impacting the overall story. 

The good part about this book is there is tons of representation. One of the main characters is non-binary with other LGBTQ+ representations throughout. 

This can be a very triggering book. It starts with a kidnapping, restraining, and implied SA. There's murder and heavy drug and alcohol abuse. There is also PTSD and other mental health issues as well as domestic abuse.
