Please seek out diverse reviews.
This was not exactly what I expected. I enjoyed it, it was entertaining in the way a celebrity memoir or reality tv is. You get sucked into the drama. It was billed as a thriller, and honestly only the last few pages had an thriller type activity. It was more of a “not so cozy” mystery than a thriller for me.
If you enjoy the celebrity life and a younger vibe (social media, hashtags, etc) with a mystery around an assumed accidental OD, this is for you.
There’s a large social issue at play, race and assumptions by the police, assumptions about addiction, family relationships.

4/5. I enjoyed this one, fairly strong narrative with a relatable main character.

I really wanted to like this book. I got it as a book of the month pick. I couldn’t get over Lena’s use shitnuts as a phrase or why she needs to remind everyone that she lives in New York.
The identity of the killer doesn’t make any sense, I feel like it was just put in there so real reason. They didn’t have a big role and hardly mentioned.

I got this book from BOTM club. The premise sounded really good. Once I started reading, I couldn’t keep with it. I started skimming the pages of the book. The flow of the book was off, kind of a choppy read. There was some potential with the plot but I couldn’t stick with it. This is the first book I couldn’t full invest in, in a long time.
