I loved so many different parts to this. I absolutely recommend this as an audiobook though. I could see reading this being difficult considering Molly’s monologue is very very proper grammar, and it’s somewhat different from what we’re used to seeing in books these days. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I believe Molly is an autistic woman. I don’t think I’ve read many books where we have a character like her. Throughout this book I felt very frustrated with some  characters because of how they acted towards Molly. Personally if I catch on to someone being different, I try to emphasize with them instead of being rude or thinking they’re dumb. So people making fun of her was definitely a turn off, although I think that was entirely the point. Overall I lived that Nita wrote Molly the way she did for especially considering this is a mystery. I absolutely loved the ending. Couldn’t recommend this more.
