This book reads like a murder drama Netflix show.
While it was certainly a page turner, I can't say I particularly liked it. This book uses every possible opportunity to insert drama into the plot to an absurd degree. The characters are melodramatic and at times unbelievable. The amount of trigger warnings needed for this book also seems like it just unnecessarily alienates a lot of readers.
