This was an engaging read that kept me hooked. I liked how the podcast element was woven in, giving the story a fresh and modern layer. What really stuck with me, though, were the underlying themes. The book shows how people often rewrite the truth about someone once they’ve passed, creating a polished version of who they were that doesn’t always match reality. And the note about how people are quicker to believe men over women. Frustrating, but sadly very realistic. I was also happy with the open ending. It left just enough ambiguity to feel true to the story while still giving a sense of closure. Overall, a smart mystery that gave me plenty to think about.
