This book was more mysterious and dark than what I'm used to and what I expected but the cover did warn me it would be like that so that was on me. Nevertheless, the story was very intriguing and to quote Captain Holt from B99: "I didn't know what was happening, and then I thought I knew what was happening, but what I thought I knew was happening wasn't what was happening."
Since having found sapphic books I can not bring myself to read books that don't involve any wlw characters or story lines and this one was the perfect example of how you can write a story with a sapphic character without the main topic being a wlw romance.
All in all I highly recommend All the Bad Apples but I advise everyone to check out the trigger warnings because it discusses and mentions very heavy issues.

This book has so many different content warnings (including slut-shaming which I could not tag here) but is such an incredibly important and informative book to read. However, I also highly recommend doing independent research and readings before/after the book.
