Main character should have been gay tbh
But book was not bad I enjoyed the majority of it. I feel like there was a bit more romance than I was expecting which i didn’t totally love but aside from that I enjoyed the book.

i was shocked when the main character killed Hen and possibly thought about killing more women? I was not expecting her to do something like that. Wish we got to see more of her trying to evade the law and possibly getting caught

There were some parts of the book I liked but it was not well written, it didn’t feel like there was a plot, the sentences jumped around to different confusing timelines in the same paragraphs, and there weren’t chapters. It wasn’t a horrible book but it could have been done a whole lot better than it was

Book was good but felt like the main characters didn’t understand simple things that were right in front of their faces. It was super frustrating and I found myself yelling at the characters about how obvious it was. I understand their obliviousness was to add to the mystery but it was frustrating to sit there until they finally figured things out that I figured out like 100+ pages ago

Loved it! Learned so much! And hope many people get the chance to read this amazing book that teaches so much about relationships and sexuality. Nuances that are not often considered. ACES AND ALLOS should both read!!!
