3.0
Light, fun little read (especially given that it is a murder mystery) with references to Filipino culture (specifically that of a Filipino American) that I could relate to. I do have to mention, however, that the writing felt juvenile and fanfic-like. It’s a little corny, but overall was entertaining enough that I’d read the next book (not top of the to-read list, but still on there).
Moderate: Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Murder, and Gaslighting
Minor: Domestic abuse, Infidelity, Violence, Grief, Lesbophobia, and Injury/Injury detail
