Really unsure what to rate this. Overall, enjoyed the early story, but

the human trafficking subplot at the end was too abruptly done to really handle the topic with any grace, I think. It seemed like the trafficked women in the final few chapters of the book were only there to showcase that Carson and Grace were both “good people,” which felt distasteful.
