dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

I thought this was an okay story. The beginning rundown of everyone at the company must work better in the physical book version than in the audiobook because I immediately forgot everyone. It would have made more sense to spread those little bios out over the first few chapters. It does feel like a lot of Ms. Ware's female characters hate themselves a whole bunch, which is a bummer.
