I did not like or dislike this book. I think that it was a bit too far outside of my comfort zone. I appreciated the end “message” of the book and honestly felt confused up until that point. Worth a read if you like unconventional plots.

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.

A pretty quick, easy read - perfect beach read for me. As you can guess by the name of the book, it has some dark themes but approaches them in a hopeful way. Good mystery elements, and a dash of futuristic sci-fi that questions whether we should use certain technology just because we can. Like all good mysteries, there is a twist at the end!
