Lexi makes several off-putting remarks that can be seen as fatphobic (comments on the weight of several characters) and homophobic (comments regarding cross-dressing). In general, she comments a lot about weight - if that's something you do not wish to read about, I would avoid this book. She's also quite judgemental of people she does not care for, but turns the other way when it comes to her and the people she likes. And, she makes many silly decisions over the course of the book.
There's also a lot going on the mystery itself. I think it would have benefitted from being tighter, removing some of the red herrings and clues instead of trying to develop all of them.
That being said, I was still interested in sleuthing out the mystery despite all these faults. It was just difficult for me to become invested in the novel given how much I disliked reading from Lexi's perspective.
