Molly wakes up after a night out not remembering anything, initially it’s not too bad, bit of a hangover no biggie. First there’s a strange man in her bed, then she finds out an embarrassing video of her has gone viral for terrible reasons and then she finds out her friend is dead. Makes you think twice about what you do the next time goes out. The book then continues, Hangover style, as Molly has to piece together what happened while she was out of it. 
First off, I would check your trigger warnings. I felt terrible for Molly and also immediately connected to her. I wanted so badly to help her through her awful viral moment since it seemed she had no one in her corner. While this is, technically, a fun read it still made me think about how horrible some people can be when they’re anonymous on the internet. The mystery aspect wasn’t overly complex but I enjoyed it and I was still surprised by the ending. This was fast paced and I kept thinking about getting back to it when I wasn’t reading it 

I won this e-ARC in a giveaway by Frenzy/Harper Collins Canada so thank you to them, NetGalley and Katy Brent
