the book transitions between the present and a series of flashbacks as we follow Candace Chen through her decisions. I found that the flashbacks helped me understand Candace’s decisions and thought process. Without giving anything away I will say that it approached some dark subject matter in a light-hearted and humorous way that made this book difficult to put down.
Moderate: Confinement, Sexual content, and Murder
