2.0

I only finished this because it qualifies for the 2024 Storygraph genre challenge.
There was good critique on white privilege, but that was all i liked.  I didn't like thr writing style at all.  And the end was awful, it just cut off.  It never actually explains anything.  You never even really find out what happened.
And I'm not satisfied with the lead up to the crime either.  Louise was unhinged, yes, but the crime itself seems random, nothing really triggered it.
