Just brilliant. Jo is one of the best developed characters I have come across. The mystery aspect is very well done. The writing is top notch. The friendships are real. The themes of trauma, toxic masculinity, sexual assault, etc. are dealt with honestly and unflinching. Would highly recommend this to high schoolers.
