Well, it was okay. Michaela "Mickie" was overly naïve and desperate over a man. She was way too accommodating to sour puss Riley. But I liked that she came from a happy family who loved her. It was unique to see a twenty-four year old who still mostly lived with her parents. I also loved learning about her job; it sounded fascinating.

The mystery felt fast-paced in the accusations and suspicious behavior, but the other elements felt so slow. At times, it felt like the story would never end. As it dragged on so did my enthusiasm. Gentrification also played a big part in the background. The romance here was crusty dishrag dry. It felt like it was here as an obligation.

I don't have much experience with mysteries that aren't from the perspective of a detective, so I was oblivious to whatever common mystery/thriller tropes. But I guessed the Tyler Perry twist and the killer but it took me a while, so there's some praise in order.

Ending spoiler:

Nadia's reasoning makes me itch. she started killing vulnerable women because she was a boring plain jane. make it make sense.
