I was expecting this to be a light-hearted read and while it was at times, it also deals with some heavy topics. There are themes of grief, misogyny and racism, as well as a mystery subplot I wasn't anticipating. These elements are balanced with funny and heart-warming moments though and I felt very immersed in the setting. I'd have liked to feel a little more connected to the main character because she felt a little surface level but I enjoyed it overall.
