Does not do as described on the tin.
This book would have received three stars for the general story, except that I realised three quarters of the way through that the blurb is inaccurate. "Cassie and Hannah set out immediately to prove their best friend's innocence"? No they don't. Cassie writes a testimony (i.e. the entire novel) that is mostly irrelevant and Hannah's the obligatory side salad that you don't *really* want with your meal but eat anyway.
To add insult to injury, the murder is solved with a throwaway line about the body being found in Jaws' cousin off the South Australian coast. Sharks. Are. Not. Interested. In. Actually. Eating. Humans.
Probably won't try other works by this author. Thank you, next.

It took me a while to finish this book. For a story that sounded quite light hearted on paper it was a difficult read. At the beginning I almost gave up as I felt it was over complicated and too wordy. Things being said in a paragraph that only needed a sentence. I persevered though, it wasn't bad but certainly not a keeper to re-read.

The title drew me in and I was not disappointed. It's a hilarious, emotional roller coaster. I don't usually look for humorous novel's but after this one I think I'd better start.

I found this silly and annoying. I struggled through it all.

Wasn’t keen on the style of writing and had too many one-line jokes for my liking
