I LOVED this book! The format of it being both real time and podcast (with a few small glimpses of the past) really kept me guessing! Lucy, my gosh, I felt for her. Brain injury and blamed for killing her best friend with no memory of it? Can't even imagine what that does to a person. The humor interspersed kept it light which I appreciated because this could've been a dark book. Really well written and I look forward to reading more from Amy Tintera!!

I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced and had me hooked the entire time. The author did a good job integrating the podcast aspect.

Honestly, the only thing I really didn't like was the intro/exit music for the podcast episodes - and that I actually predicted the real killer fairly early (this is rare for me because I don't tend to pick up on things quickly in a way that lets me predict the murderer early so the fact that I was right felt like it was too easy of a solution - AND I'd read a book a few months ago with the same deal).
