Lucy was the prime suspect in her best friend Savvy’s murder, but has no memory of that night. When a podcaster begins to investigate, it may finally be time for the truth to come to light…
I really enjoyed this one! It is a fantastic feminine rage book, which is frankly exactly what I needed this week (and always, who are we kidding) and I really appreciated both Lucy and Savvy’s characters and the flashback glimpses of their friendship. There were tons of twists and turns that kept me invested, and I thought the audio production was excellent and the perfect format to consume this book!
I also really appreciated the way this book handled important and difficult topics, and the nuanced exploration of victimhood and who makes a “good” victim. These are topics that are often deeply misunderstood and seeing them reflected and explored in literature is so meaningful!

It's a super easy whodunit to breeze through in one or two sittings.
It could've used more editing but it was still entertaining.
The way Lucy's
There's a lot of things that could've been removed that didn't add anything to the story, and sometimes were frankly distracting.
The audiobook is supposed to be very good so maybe I'll reread it in that form later.
Want a small town murder mystery with lots of secrets and gossip that has a darkly humorous female main character? Check it out
