It all kind of hit the fan in the last 50 pages and didn’t have the kind of clear resolution I wanted

I’ve been impressed with this author’s ability to weave a complex mystery while also giving satisfying character development to multiple characters in each book. With this book, I feel like the characters might have gotten unwieldy because the character development felt more uneven. Knox was a POV character in the last book, but not this one, so he wasn’t developed much at all in this one. The fact that he and Phoebe didn’t get together officially until the end didn’t make a lot of sense to me. I found myself wondering stuff like: did Cooper’s dad ever come around to Cooper being gay? What about Addie’s realization about being bi?
