I borrowed a copy of this book from Taunton Library and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt "With a revolver" for the 52 Book Club mini challenge September 2024.

This book was so fun!! Bought it as a sort of wild card buy and enjoyed it SO much. It is definitely plot heavy, since it is more of a traditional thriller— but I also totally fell in love with the main character. Very easy ready, super fun, & has a unique political spin. Highly recommend.

I would rank the SA content as minor but do list it as a trigger. It is an important aspect of the story & is not heavily detailed/descriptive, but still good to be aware of!lindsayerin's review against another edition
