I was extremely into this, and I'm really interested in reading more by this author. I thought it unfolded really interestingly, and I absolutely did not expect to sympathize with this main character, but I liked her?? A really fun read.

I have never read anything like this nor do I think I will ever read anything like this again. The writing, the plot, the characters and their development, are all incredibly planned out and impeccably portrayed. Sascha Rothchild has written a book so clever, so intriguing and intellectual but also so precarious and multi dimensional, it is unparalleled. 

"Blood Sugar" is nothing short of profound and extraordinary.

This was a decent book. There was something about it that was kind of boring though. A serial killer that is accused of a crime she didn’t commit, how can that be a little boring? I wouldn’t consider it a “thriller” more of a contemporary novel. A look into the life of someone that has killed people trying to prove she didn’t kill this person.
Being this is a debut novel I look forward to seeing what the author puts out in the future.
