4.5

I really disliked the narrator at the very beginning, but as the story progresses and the character develops, she becomes much more relateable and likeable.

This book got a rating if 4.5 instead of 5 from me because
while I normally enjoy books with open ended plots and a few unanswered questions, for some reason the lack of complete resolution killed me with this one! Why didn't Mia ask her family more direct questions? Did she or didn't she press zero when trying to unlock her dad's  phone? Why didn’t she want to know the truth??
