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

This must be the gayest small town in Texas and I loved it. He really gave us EVERY POV but it really worked and kept me hooked. The characters were definitely not loveable but at least I wasn't actively rooting against them, except Joel who really was terrible at investigating. Honestly a great, fast-paced story, it only got 0.25 taken off because I'm still somewhat unclear on the ending.
