quick thoughts:
- lisa jewell has never met a teenager, particularly one from 2017
- some basic grammar editing needed which is always a bugbear of mine
- aspergers is… a choice, and did anyone autistic actually read this before publication
- it’s sad 
- i like how the characters wove together and it was a fairly simple pleasing solve
- someone find archie a nice wife
- read it in 2.5 hours, my overall review is It’s Perfectly Fine
