A weird and enjoyable mashup of scifi, murder mystery, and early 2000s boy band culture. Probably more fun if you know going in that the author had a goal to break all of T.S. Elliot's rules of detective stories.

Insanely wonderful. What more do I need to say? If you appreciate straight up weird in your cup of gin, this is for you. I giggled, laughed, gasped, and cried at the end.
