If there was now diversity, this would have easily been 5 stars. I loved the story and the twists. Most were predictable but there was one in particular I didn’t think about and was shocked by. The story felt like a mix between Only Murders in the Building and Twin Peaks (the secret club/trafficking aspect)
I think this would be a really fun aspect for the author to play off of (Jess solving ~mysteries~).
The main gripe I have other than lack of diversity is the protest portion of the story. It doesn’t add anything interesting to the story nor is it necessary (imo).
