Gillian’s writing is so clever and slick but also has lots of heart & empathy.
The story itself was really engaging and such an enjoyable read. I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen until about 80% which I love.
The way the clues are pieced together is so satisfying, allowing you to try and figure everything out alongside our protagonist, rather than an info dump at the end.
I thought the characters were real and complex and loveable (some, not all).
I can’t wait for her next book!
