honestly, i would be really *really* picky about who i’d recommend this to. i enjoyed it bc honestly, it was so fucking wild i never knew what would happen next. the book fucking opens with a sex addicts anonymous meeting. there’s also a woman who shits her pants and a naked dude running across a tennis court. there are so many trigger warnings (which i’ll out at the end) i might forget some. but to call it a mystery on goodreads when we don’t even get to see it solved on page? we see the police officers three times i think? anyway this book was entertaining, i liked it!
