This is the craziest book I’ve ver read. It was the most bonkers contribution to the mystery thriller genre and I couldn’t be more moved that I picked it up. Please read this after you read the trigger warnings

I loved Coop-who Jess didn’t deserve-and the rest of them made interesting characters. They are all wicked and evil and toxic. It was easy to get wrapped up in their world but a lot of my annotations look like “you fing monster” so there’s that too

Could have been 70 pages less in the middle and would have liked more from the ending. Felt rushed at times and dragged out at others. Not my favorite but cute, I could see someone loving it.

I finished it by skimming. Bad ending. Not engaged with the writing. Nothing in the characters that was appealing.
