This book spent too much time trying to be different and edgy that it forgot to be entertaining.
We barely get introduced to the characters so I wasn’t invested in the murder mystery at all and I hated the ending.
The author clearly can write well and the premise was promising but unfortunately this didn’t work for me.

I thought the ending was really clever however the pacing felt too slow in places and it became slightly repetitive.

This book was pure chaos and I ate it up. The characters were the worst, most unhinged group of individuals but it was fun to hate them.
