Like other DDM books, this was very gripping, although there were definitely some slow sections that dragged a bit. Also like her other books, none of the characters were particularly likeable but were interesting to read about. Honestly if they all just communicated with each other properly, none of it would ever have happened!
Moderate: Racial slurs, Ableism, and Gun violence
Minor: Death and Violence
