I ended up feeling disappointed with this one. I feel like Grace is an interesting concept for a villain but I was personally frustrated that there were so many allusions to her being ace or aroace or aro and the author really skirted around the terms and just made her an obsessive killer. I thought that was kinda boring. It was a decent thriller and mystery but I found Becker dying in the end to be such a bummer. It was an interesting setting for the story and I enjoyed the themes of isolating and what we owe each other. I found how everyone treated Grace for being ugly very very interesting.
