Swipe Right for Murder by Derek Milman

1.0

Aiden uses a hook up app to find a Spring Break fling. After hooking up he wakes up to find his date dead and he finds himself wanted for cyberterrorism. He soon finds himself targeted by an extremist gay rights terrorist organization which targets homophobic individuals and institutions. Thrillers require a level of suspension of disbelief in order to work but this book takes it to a whole other level. Aiden and his friends are supposed to be 17 or 18 years old yet they don’t act like any human, let alone any teen, would in the real world. Aiden is supposed to be this damaged individual and the other characters keep on pointing out how damaged he is but he doesn’t display any discernable personality. There are times where Milman attempt to address serious topics like suicide, grief, and sexual abuse but his handling of such issues is in contrast to the absurd plot. This book just does not work.
