The highlight of this book in my eyes is the drama. I love the pacing of the story which had me hooked and the chapters end on perfect cliffhangers. If you're in a book slump or need a serious distraction from life, this book will do the trick.
The characters felt somehow one-dimensional and had personalities at the same time. The best way I could explain it is if you took a stick figure and stuck a bunch of really cool backstories and character traits to them. At times it truly felt like the characters dissociated from themselves if that makes sense. Irrespective of what I think of the characters, they made for some interesting interpersonal dynamics that were really fun to read. Side characters fall into some archetypes, but I loved their depiction in an effort to resemble reality.
I don't read much of mystery, so I wasn't really trying to solve anything, and I'll just say that the ending was interesting.
This is unrelated, but I read "I Kissed Shara Wheeler" by Casey McQuinston a while back. It was an LGBTQ romance/ mystery thriller which I was excited for but disappointed by. I love that Pride or Die takes the same genres and does them so well. Also the name of the book is really clever and I love that.
