Nice, quick read very much in the same vein as Veronica Mars! The only thing is that I found the ending to be really unsatisfying. It's a shame because the book up until the last 15 pages was great! Good characterization & a good plot that benefited from the flashbacks featuring the MC, Jude, and her bff Maggie.

Such a shame about the ending, but the world needs more YA noir tbh
