Dexter meets You meet vapid, self obsessed influencer. I stuck with it to get to her ultimate motivation and was bummed with the let down. Once you knew dad wasn’t dead… you basically knew what happened. The stalker was also predictable. It wasn’t the one of the two that I was thinking it was the most…. So it wasn’t kind of a let down…. Though the stalker was still murdered by Kitty… so at least that followed the exact format I was expecting.

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!
