This book surprised me in the best way because it is so much FUN! I don’t want to say too much about it because I think it’s more fun if you go in blind, but if you need a quick read that will make you laugh and keep you guessing, this is a great choice!
The steady plot is the main focus, but there are some nice character relationships and development also. The crazy predicaments that Finlay gets herself into were just the right amount of unbelievable mixed with totally plausible for Finlay. 😂
I know this one has been hyped a lot on bookstagram, but I think it’s #WorthTheHype and I can’t wait for the next one!

Thanks to Minotaur Books and Netgalley for a free digital copy.
This book is like if a rom com book and a mystery book had a baby. It is funny and delightful while also being thrilling and a page turner. Finlay is a writer and her life is a mess. Her ex-husband just fired the nanny with no warning, she is behind on writing the book she promised her agent, and her four year old just decided to give herself a haircut. When a conversation heard out of context leads her to be mistaken for a contract killer, a chain of events begins to unfold and she sets off trying to keep all the dominoes from falling in her life.
These characters are fleshed out and compelling. The way they interact makes you love them all the more. The story jumps off the page and I can imagine it so clearly on screen (please tell me this is going to be adapted for a mini series!). I was left constantly guessing and that ending set us up to have hopes of a sequel. Fingers crossed we get one!
