Five years ago, Lucy was found on the side of the road covered in blood, with a head wound, and no recollection of the night before. Her best friend, Savvy, was dead and since Savvy was the darling of their small central Texas town, everyone needs someone to blame, and that blame falls on Lucy. 

Now, living in LA away from everything that happened, her life is upended once again when a hit true crime podcast decides to use it's second season to cover Savvy's case. Now people far beyond the limits of her hometown think Lucy is a murderer. 

With some coercion from her grandma, Lucy returns home to try and find the truth once and for all. After all, she doesn't even know if she did it...

I don't think anyone in this book was truly likable (except maybe the grandma).  Lucy mainly thinks with her lady bits and I wanted her to be more interesting than that. And at every turn people are making questable decisions that are just infuriating. And I typically need my characters to be likeable. THAT BEING SAID, I was fully invested in this book. I flew through the audio. This book has interesting twists that just propel you through the story. 

Plus, this book is wildly discussable. My IRL book club picked this for our May read and every single person devoured it and enjoyed it. For a group that typical reads historical fiction, this was a new genre for us and we had so much to ponder and break down as we talked. Talking it over we found themes and societal commentary that I missed in my quick read, so it added to the experience for me. 

If you are looking for a page turning thriller or an audiobook that will have you finishing all your laundry and dishes, pick this one up! 

Thanks to @CeladonBooks for the finished copy I read along with the audio. They also send me a book club kit that we used in my IRL book club! The book club kit can be found on their website.
