(No spoilers!) I wasn’t thrilled when the book started. Suburban mom midlife crisis isn’t my favorite subject, but I’m glad I stuck with it. The characters aren’t super diverse, but the plot is more complex than the first chapter made me think it would be.

Very much looking forward to the 2nd in the series. This was fun, tense, and right up my alley.

#Bookreview Book Review: Finlay Donavan is Killing it by @ellecosimano

OMG! Finlay Donavan is one of my favorite reads for January 2022. It is witty, funny with lots of laugh-out-loud moments and a hint of dark humor.

Finlay is a suspense novelist, but currently, she’s doing very poorly: she’s broke, up to her ears in debt, a single mom about to lose custody of her children, and has an absolute lowlife for an ex.

She already has a thick resume of “Bad decisions”: she has gotten arrested for putting Play-Dough in the exhaust pipe of her ex-husband’s lover/fiancées car; she’s been thrown out of and banned from Panera, for throwing soup on said lover. It goes further downhill when she meets up with her agent (at Panera, of course!) to discuss her latest book ideas, only to be mistaken for a contract killer! 😂

The customer has a job for her and won’t take no for answer! Following her slew of bad decisions, Finlay digs herself into a deeper hole as she tries to get herself out of this job. But the job is quite tempting and the answer to all her monetary problems atm. With the help of her fierce nanny/accomplice, Vero, one bad decision leads to another, and Finlay is too deep to back away now. She finds herself part of real-life crimes with Russian mobs and real contract killers. 😅

I loved the unconventional way she solves the mystery (and I didn’t guess whodunnit). Also, the detective (Nick) was 💯

It was outrageous, funny, fast-paced, with a unique plot that had me reading late!

Do I want more Finlay? Absolutely yess!!!!

The sequel comes out in Feb, and I'm so stoked!
