This book is beautifully written! Williams had me hooked from the very beginning and did an excellent job of unwinding the story with beautiful, flowy language. I can't wait to reread this knowing the ending to see what hints I can pick up on that I missed the first time. 

If you were let down by Grady Hendrix's The Final Girls Support Grpup but loved the premise, this book will absolutely redeem it for you.

Despite the fact that this book reminded me of why I stopped watching Criminal Minds once I, a single woman, moved out on my own, it was a quick read. A mix of light sci-fi and speculative fiction, with a sprinkle of darkly humorous moments. The plot twists kept me wrapped in the story until the very end. I know this isn't the story for it, that the focus is on something else but other futuristic aspects of this world were also pretty interesting, I would loved to see it shelled out more.

“You come up with your reasons after the fact, for why you did what you did, but it feels like you’re telling yourself a story. A story about yourself...Maybe it’s best for us just to say, I had my reasons. Even if I don’t know what they are, they must exist, because I did what I did.”

I thought the premise of the story was really interesting. The story follows Lou as she is dealing with being murdered by a local serial killer and is brought back to life through a government project. I think I would’ve liked the book better if it was promoted differently since it’s not actually a mystery/thriller. The main topics were exploration of identity, the challenges and relationship dynamics of motherhood, and slight discussion of fascination with serial killers. I struggled staying engaged with the writing and execution of the plot. I also didn’t like the ending and was a bit confused by it.

MY 100TH BOOK OF THE YEAR 🥳


My Murder by Katie Williams

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)

Genre: Mystery

About 290 pages


Lou was murdered and now she’s alive again. How? She was chosen to be cloned and brought back. Now Lou spends her days trying to understand her murder. Some things just don’t add up and Lou can’t help but wonder who and what she can really trust. As it turns out, her suspicions are right and not everything is as it seems….


Conceptually, this was a fun premise and I did like it… Williams’ writing style made it easy to fly through this book. However, it just didn’t hit the way I thought it would? At times, I was a bit confused about what was going on, and the ending didn’t feel properly fleshed out. The sci-fi element definitely added to my confusion and mixed feelings on this one. 


Favorite Quote: “Maybe it’s best for us just to say, I had my reasons. Even if I don’t know what they are, they must exist, because I did what I did.”
