I really really loved this book. The premise is hilarious, I ended up telling pretty much everyone I met up with to read this absolute chaotic mess of a book. Finlay is such a relatable main character, she's so messy and unhinged and weirdly okay with murder, definitely in need of some therapy. Vero was also absolutely amazing, an icon, and such a supportive friend. I definitely got a Thelma and Louise vibe off of their relationship. 
But oh. my. god. I hate Steven so much. He is such a fucking jerk, I low key would not mind if he died. 
The love triangle is also pretty interesting, but I would love it if it ended in a lovely poly relationship between Julian, Nick and Finlay, maybe even Vero too.

It is always weird to me when characters are both incredibly intelligent and so so oblivious at the same time. In one breath Finlay is like solving an entire crime by flitting through her memories of inconsequential stickers on a random dude’s car, the next she is blindsided by a Russian dude. I still thought this was fun to listen to, but I feel like there were so many plot holes and convenient discoveries. And I just always dislike cop romances/family members, so that brought me out of it, too.  I’ll probably still read the 2nd book because it’s an entertaining premise, just not exactly perfect for me.
