Started off promising with an engaging plot and mystery. Very reminiscent of Daisy Jones. Characters were similarly grey and problematic, if that is what you enjoy. But the pacing of this book was off, and as time went on I cared less and less for the characters and the lack of motivation behind their decisions. By the end, their reasoning felt immature, unbelievable and frustrating. The resolution was lackluster, and there was so little character growth and development.
