interesting plot that had me hooked from the start. sure it was kind of easy to guess the twist, personally I enjoy how we get to that point. 
the only thing for me was the writing, it felt more like a YA book at times such as scenes with her love interest. Nothing wrong with YA books but this is not marketed as such so sometimes I felt like I was reading YA romance due to the wordings and descriptions. 
I really did enjoyed the discussion on the ‘perfect victim’, very true and unfortunately always relevant.

I don’t think this book will stick with me long-term but it did what this kind of book is supposed to do (it was hard to put down!)

This book was great! Was into it enough that I read it really fast, but my only complaint that prevented me from giving it a full 5 stars is that I predicted who the killer was, it was pretty obvious. Otherwise, loved this book!

my mom recommended me this as a fast thriller, which it is! the sense of humor was definitely not for me; the millennial sarcasm fell flat for me and the pop culture references just felt out of place. the mystery was interesting enough, though sometimes it was hard to take the narrator’s voice in her head seriously, especially at first. the ending was definitely a surprise! for me, this was mid overall but fun to read

You have to listen to the audio book to get the best out of this one…

Absolutely loved this! Came across the recommendation from someone online and thought I’d give it a whirl. Listened to the whole thing over 2 days. Great story that hooks you from the start - brilliantly interwoven crime podcast along with the unfolding of the story. Wish there were more like this!
