This book feels more literary Fiction to me with a strong romance subplot than straigh up romance to me. I think if I knew that going in I could have adjusted my expectations, but this was still pretty good. Renee's family, especially her brothers, made me want to spit nails. I had to pause the book every time their garbage behavior was on display. Ket Siong was alternatingly interesting and flat. His main character trait was being obsessed with Renee, but the mystery aspect gave him a bit of depth. The wrap up gave me all the warm and cozy feels, and for that I bumped the rating. I would try more from this author now that I have a better idea what to expect.
