SYNOPSIS:
"Something bad happened last night.
I’ve woken up with the hangover from hell, a stranger in my bed, and I’ve gone viral for the worst reasons.
But I can’t remember a thing…
My best friend Posey is dead. The police think it was a tragic accident. I know she was murdered.
There’s only one thing stopping me from dying of shame. I need to find a killer." Goodreads
MY THOUGHTS
⭐️ I adored How to Kill Men and Get Away With It so I was beyond excited to read the new one from Brent, and they didn't disappoint!
⭐️ Brent has an amazing ability to write characters that you deeply care about and root for but are complex and flawed, and in this book, it's Molly Monroe.
⭐️ This book starts with a bang, Molly waking up from the night before, with a man in her bed wondering what happened. I was gripped from then on in!
⭐️ It's jam-packed with plots, twists, and brilliant social commentary about the treatment of women, social media, SA, misogyny, and more - with some humour along the way.
⭐️ I went into this one blind and I would recommend, other than the synopsis above, do so too, it makes for a wild ride.
⭐️ It's fast-paced and I literally consumed this in a few days and have already bought it for a friend's birthday!
I will 100% be reading the next book that Katy Brent releases!

It has the same dark humour, and slightly unlikeable characters as the author's first book. I did chuckle at some of the lines. I did prefer the author's first book overall though, as I felt this seemed slightly more rushed and predictable. Some bits also felt unbelievable. Like the first, the ending seemed to hurtle through and I would have liked a bit more.
Crimes against women, a sad reality. This book shows them in a brutal way, making it quite difficult to stomach. Let's hope the world starts to change.
