Loved the audiobook! It was sharp, fast-paced, and kept me on my toes the whole way through.
A perfect palate cleanser between heavier reads, with just the right mix of suspense and wit to keep me hooked.
Highly recommend if you need a gripping escape!

This was a run of the mill thriller for me. I thought it was enjoyable and I would recommend to someone looking for a book that is mildly thrilling and not too demanding on the brain. I did not enjoy how about 60ish% in this thriller took a turn for a sexier read. It did not add much to the story and felt a little like filler. However, I enjoyed listening to this with the multimedia aspect of this audiobook and I feel that added a lot to my reading experience. Would I run out and tell everyone this is a must read? Absolutely not but it was fun and easy to read.

Phew…just when I thought I was bored with the true crime genre 👀

Had me on the edge of my seat until the very end—I binge read most of it in a day. A really fresh and modern take on a whodunnit with a realistic twist I didn’t see coming (which just drives the author’s point home all the more). LOVED the unique perspective of this book!

Wow, this book was absolutely incredible. I only needed one chapter until it had me in an absolute chokehold. The book revolves around Lucy who is found wandering the streets covered in her best friends blood left without any memories of what happened and how she ended up there. Everyone in her small town believes she committed a horrific murder, killing her best friend Savy and Lucy can't fight the claims because she cant remember what happened that night. A few years pass and a true crime podcaster starts digging into the story and Lucy is drawn back in. The story weaves us through the terrifying events that led up to Savy's murder and all of the players in the small town are examined, nothing can stay a secret in a small town. The book had me guessing until the last page and kept me up into the wee hours on a work night. I could not sleep until I knew what happened.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was go down as one of the best thrillers of the year!

Thank you Thank You to the Publisher and NetGalley for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest review, it was truly a pleasure from start to finish!
