Okay so for legal reasons, I’ll say I’ve never killed any of my exes - but if Clio’s ex didn’t die at the start of this book I wouldn’t blame her for killing him. I loved her from the moment we met her, even though she potentially could be a murderer - she was funny, witty, relatable and just a little bit jaded but in an understandable way.

Crossing a twisty murder mystery with a coming of age story and an ensemble action - this made for a sharp and strangely compelling read, with investigation, dead bodies, affairs, plots and an unforgettable birthday all weaving together for an exciting story told by a narrator whose eye rolls you could hear through her words.

Our group of haphazard vigilante investigators were fabulous— they kept the story moving at a steady pace, taking us back for little bits of backstory but always finding themselves in the strangest predicaments and making terrible choices, the women taking turns telling the story from their perspective and letting us see it from all angles; although even with that there was still so much intensity and mystery around Gary and his death, with everything being suspicious and a potential twist around every corner.

A darkly exciting story of revenge and renewal that was an absolute delight.
