The story had a lot of potential but it just didn’t quite get there.

How is it possible in this day and age to murder someone and not leave a trace without taking precautions. It just didn’t make sense to me

The mc was also quite annoying at times.

I read this book so you don’t have to. Great concept, terrible execution.

Very 'How to kill your family' vibes.

Premise was ok, but I found the execution awkward. Uncomfortable reading at times (which I guess was the point), but I couldn't get on board with the characters or the idea that she really would 'get away with it'

Interestingly, I really liked the murder after the night before by Katy Brent but I probably wouldn't have read it if I'd read this first!

This book is so witty and funny yet dark and thrilling. I loved it, one of my favourite reads of the year so far.
