I'm normally not into reading murder mysteries, but this book really drew me in. All of the characters are well developed with real flaws and idiosyncrasies. The plot was easy to follow, but not easy to guess the outcome.

This is a book for a very specific audience, but for that audience it is pure gold.

I really liked the book, but all the diet culture bullshit really took me out of it.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Fatphobia
Minor: Death and Sexism
