This was such a good book it kept me on my feet. I did have to keep putting it on hold from my library bc everyone and their mothers wanted to read this book but I finally finished it and it was so worth the wait

 Talk about a page turner! Tintera’s conversational style and frankly hilarious main character kept me entertained throughout the story. I loved the Texas setting and the little nods toward Texas culture, and really didn’t guess the ending until it was right in front of me.

I enjoyed this a lot. I didn’t expect to finish it in a day, but it definitely peaked my interest. I got a little confused trying to keep track of the some of the characters, especially if they were really only used for the podcast portions of the story, but overall I thought this was well done. I think I’ll probably pick it up again to see if I can find the clues; I definitely suspected just about every character at some point in the book! I recommend this one if you’re looking for an interesting who-done-it, particularly as an audiobook to really get the podcast vibe!

A few too many tropes for me. The story and plot twists were okay.

Lucy getting her memory back was a bit too convenient. It would’ve been better if the podcast itself revealed what happened.
