The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club was SO MUCH FUN. You would never expect so much heart from a story about a murder investigation. This is "John Tucker Must Die" meets "Horrible Bosses," making for an extremely hilarious romp of a read. Kathryn, Olivia, and Elle are such a fun trio - they created a friendship out of such an extreme circumstance, and found themselves while trying to find a murderer. These characters felt so raw and true - you want them to be YOUR friends. Each of their quirks give them so much personality - no one dimensional characters here. I appreciated learning the origin of so many idioms. I LOVED how much poop humor there was here - YES! Women also think poop and farts are funny! 

AND THE PLOT! I honestly had so many theories about who the murderer was, but none of them were right! I was simply delighted to not see those last chapters coming. This was masterful story-telling with fleshed out characters, thrilling twists, and heart-warming growth. I would recommend this to anybody who loves a good murder mystery, or to anyone who loves a female friend group that feels just like yours. 

Thank you so much to Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for this gifted e-ARC!
