Famous Last Words by Katie Alender
2.0
Somewhat enjoyable book. But honestly there was just so much about this that I really had issues with
The murderer was entirely predictable, simply because of who he was in the book. There was no surprise there. A book should have you be able to guess who the murderer is but there should still be some time taken to figure it out. It shouldn't be obvious from the moment that you meet the character. Also I didn't really feel like the clues matched up with the ending. It didn't really lead to the murderer being who they were but you still know anyway.
My main problem with this book was that all the characters felt a little one note to me.
Willa's main defining quality was that she could contact ghosts. Her personality otherwise felt all over the place.
Wyatt was there to help Willa get information. And be a love interest. And that wasn't even that believable
Marnie was a pathological liar and wanted all the attention on her. Except for one part at the end she could have not existed in the book and it wouldn't have made a difference.
Willa's mom had no personality. She was barely in the book. And there was supposedly all this tension between them for her getting remarried. But all that went away within one conversation and it wasn't even believable for the rest of the book anyway
Stepdad barely existed in the book. He was there so Willa could live in the house she lived in.
Also Willa's dad who she thinks that she killed. She calls one doctor and finds out something and two years of guilt disappear just like that.
All in all this was an okay book. But the mystery was lacking. I'd suggest sticking with her dead girls trilogy. Much better books in my opinion
