Murder mystery

This book was terribly predictable… but I still liked reading it. I rolled my eyes so hard so many times. 

The writing structure was strictly YA, with every outfit described in detail as well as every meal. 

The FMC was very bla. She loved “daring” fashion, sex, and power. and she was going to have that in her inner monologues over and over again. I found her refreshing because she was a murder and that definitely set her apart from other FMC’s. But so many plot points came up and then were tied up with nice bows and handed to us.

As far as a murder mystery goes… it also wasn’t great.

But for all these annoyances…. I still had fun reading it. 

I don’t know, I don’t make the rules.
