Nunca pensé que la protagonista de un murder mystery iba a darle un abrazo reconfortante a mi yo adolescente. Con algunas diferencias, pero menos de las que me gustaría...
Ha sido un viaje interesante. Gracias por tanto, Molly.

Read it in one evening. Several chuckles. Nice to see a neurodiverse character. A bit cheesy at times but there were some twists I didn’t expect and a lovely message of embracing who you are.

Only minutes into this book it became one of my favorites ever! It is beautiful book about human relations with a murder sprinkled over. And the main character is an Eleanor Olyphant type character, you’ll either live her or hate her.
