I didn't like this book. When I first started it, I thought it was going to be hysterical,  but somehow it fell flat for me. The twists didn't feel like twists. Nothing was particularly unexpected, even if the story was random. It was a quick read though.

A tongue-in-cheek poke at her own writing and thrillers in general.

Narrator Rating: 4.0 stars

   She did a great job.
