Absolutely marvelous: so well done. It pulls you in and doesn't let you go. The final plot twist wasn't expected but, at the same time, I'm not sure how I feel about the book getting so political at the end. I also didn't like the final chapter. I did, however, enjoy the books engagement with the topics of memory and the construction of the truth.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

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!
