  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

The psychological turn this book took was unexpected since I assumed it was going to have more of a mystery focus. This book is doing a lot at the same time and I only guessed a few of the twists.

The one thing for me is that every sex scene described in this book made me uncomfortable. The descriptions of female bodies also made me uncomfortable.
