This one started great, a super interesting concept, and an 😳 moment straight away, but by the 3/4 mark I was shouting at my phone!
At some point in the story Poe our MC is talking about her book club, and all the different acronyms we use, and specifically mentions TSTL (too stupid to live) and even says to herself "that's what they would be saying about me" and by the end of the book YES, YES WE ARE 🤦🏻

I'm on a podcast-in a-book hyperfixation at the minute, I love an audiobook that has one incorporated, and this one kinda has, although it's just the reading of the script, not the actual music and things like some books, I was excited to hear it but unfortunately it didn't come.

Look, this book has some really good reviews, so take my one with a pinch of salt, but if you like your thrillers thrilling, I'd pass this one over, but if you want a quick little popcorn filler as a pallete cleanser, this would be great 👍🏻
