Ooh I loved this one. Probably partly because this is set just right near where we live, but it's also so well written and very fun and super funny. I love the idea of just completely accidentally becoming a hitwoman. I'm very excited to read more of this series and more of this author in general.

I waffled and almost DNF’d but ultimately I’m really glad I stuck with this one! The hilarious ineptitude of Finlay and her babysitter-turned-accomplice, the woes of a broke aspiring author, and not one but two cuties pining after her. I snorted with laughter numerous times.

Also, this book reaffirms my decision to NEVER have children.

CW: murder, blackmail, infidelity/cheating, rape (discussed but never shown on-page)

This book was so fun and exactly what I need from a mystery. I am a WIMP so I need something equally hysterical and mysterious, and this did it!!

What a bananas fun read. Fans of the TV show Dead to Me will likely enjoy, though this book is more lighthearted overall.
