The last 10-15% picked up significantly and had a twist or two I hadn’t seen coming which is why I am giving this book three stars despite a number of pretty annoying flaws IMO.
Seriously this could have used a pretty aggressive edit. Whole scenes and entire characters ultimately made no difference to the plot at all.
Also if I had a drink for every time the main character’s first response to just about every question was to just repeat the question, I’d be… very drunk.

"Every other character is so cartoonishly unpleasant to our first person protagonist. Not at all clear why she still interacts with them. She’s so passive and apologetic. Frustrating."
