4.0

There are heavier parts of the book but the author keeps those sections very tight to ensure that it doesn’t impact the light tone of the overall book and they seem well placed in the story / by the time you read them you see them coming so it isn’t overwhelming despite the content. It’s very thoughtful story telling. 

At first the amount of perspective can feel a bit overwhelming but if you imagine if while you’re reading it, it’s a who done it tv show where we get to see the others perspectives it actually become cohesive quite quickly.
