I thought the writing was mediocre at very beginning before the inciting event, but the meat of the plot started really quickly, like within the first chapter. Then it read like a thriller with the ultra quick pacing, increasing number of questions, and the POVs’ narrative styles.
I really liked how it was explicitly set in the US but never mentioned the state.

However, it lost me a bit towards the very end when all the questions were answered (the aspect of the book I had been most excited about). And then the very end felt like a bit of a cop-out to me, with the author not really finding a satisfactory stopping point.
