I liked the protagonist, but I wasn’t very hooked on the plot. The resolution of the mystery felt unsatisfying. However, I can absolutely see this being someone’s favorite book. The perspective of the protagonist accurately describes the thoughts of an extremely anxious and depressed woman. As one myself, I can confirm. I’d recommend it to fans of Kathleen Glasgow and Turtles All the Way Down.
