TW: addiction, thoughts of suicide
3.5 stars
My first book club book done for the book club I’m running! This was an interesting thriller I thought I was reading two different books at once about halfway through. Maya’s life was definitely different and Reyes writing style was unique as it follows an untraditional themed thriller and mystery. I’ll save most of my thoughts for book club in a few weeks but overall this was a good debut novel for Reyes.
