I really enjoyed this story. I loved the narrator and the writing style. I found the story very engaging and fun. I loved the sapphic vibes and found all the characters interesting. I wish they were a bit more fleshed out but it’s a shorter book. I also found the pacing a bit bizarre. There are essentially three different story lines that all go rather quickly. My favorite was the initial mystery but that is resolved about halfway through the book. Overall it helped get me out of a slump and it was a hoot. Might give it a higher rating after thinking about it for a bit but this is my initial reaction. I would recommend it to people though
