I had a great time reading this and I'm so glad I stuck until the end. I wasn't so hooked that I'd drop everything else just to read on, but it still kept me interested and I'm so glad to have read it right now for a little more chilled attitude to making progress in the book.
Love the fast pacing in the end, and how the mystery kept me guessing, but was still well set up so I could have figured it out if I wanted to spend a little more time on that instead of finding out as Ruth and the others did.
Glad to see Ruth getting a little better with her fatphobia, but I'm hoping she doesn't go back later!
Moderate: Blood, Violence, Pregnancy, Fatphobia, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Stalking
Minor: Body shaming and Child abuse
