This book is a great idea in theory, but it just was not my cup of tea. I felt like the story was rushed, I felt like all we focused on was how everyone was queer and not on the actual mystery itself at all. Which isn’t necessarily bad, but it just didn’t play out in a very convincing way. The reveal at the end was so incredibly quick it was really underwhelming to be honest.
