I kinda guessed who did it right away but it was a bit entertaining to see that conclusion confirmed; even with how unlikable all the characters were.  The ambiguous ending though had me kinda annoyed.

Everything was just okay. The writing wasn't great and I didn't enjoy reading it. It was advertised as "unpredictable and interesting" but it was just boring. The main plot was predictable and strange. I didn't like really like the characters and there was very little of not no diversity.
