This wasn't bad per se. More like very average. The writing was OK, not cringey but also not particularly engaging.
The teenaged characters were the most interesting and relatable. The grown-ups were either very dumb and annoying, or simply oblivious.
The plot was very predictable, and I didn't like that most of the "twist" relyed on pure chance.
Also I didn't really appreciate how the themes of mental health, neurodivergence and domestic abuse/violence were handled.

For some reason, I didn’t feel hooked during the first half of the book. I’m not sure why. It could be just struggling to find time to read, but I also think the multiple characters and different viewpoints made it hard for me to follow. I could have used a little character-family-tree!
I would like to re-read the book, because maybe I’ll have more fun picking out any clues set forth in the beginning!
