I got this one as it was promised to be LGBTQ inclusive. I don't consider, however, a side character who is the gay brother of the main character to fall under this "inclusive" umbrella. Maybe "LGBTQ included"? The main character being LGBTQ would be inclusive ... this one was a raging heterosexual. ;)
That being said, I did stay up two hours past my bed time to finish the story. I had it figured out before it was presented, yet that was okay as it was fun to see how she was going to figure it out and then "resolve" it. There wasn't a ton of meaningful character development from beginning to end, but she was a fun main character.
Bottom line - not one I'd highly recommend, especially if we're looking for LGBTQ inclusive.
