I found this book pretty boring. The mystery wasn’t very compelling and it didn’t really do much with its characters. I’m fine with cliches in a mystery but when nothing is compelling on either the plot or character front, I lose interest. I was also never really shocked or repulsed by the “edgggy” elements. Those also felt pretty bland to me. I think there are popular romcoms that have more interesting depictions of BDSM
