It's good, not mindblowing, but good.
The story was a tad too slow for me, but the ending made it all worth it.

There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but it gets easier through the book.
I would say the one issue I had was when Rachel believed these people she had just met instead of her mom. That made absolutely zero sense to me...
But the rest was great.
Note for the minor TW I have listed, they are mentioned as part of a story a charafter tells. But it's important to note they come up.
