I really could not put this book down and I finished it until 12midnight because I cannot wait to know what will happen next! As someone who reads this genre, I am amazed by the new way an author lays out her story.
The writing style was fresh for me . Honestly, I imagined myself listening to every episodes of the podcast. It was hilarious, witty, and somehow scandalous, like a true gossip. I would really put an alarm just to listen to updates and new episodes.
I loved the protagonist's banter with herself because I can relate to some of the things she self-talk. I also felt the remorse and loneliness she felt especially that almost all people, even her family, believed she did it. Most importantly, I was in awe that deep inside she really wanted to solve the murder, even if that meant she might have done it.
This is a must-read for reader who loved books like the Ernest Cunningham series by Benjamin Stevenson—investigating and solving murders, but make them funny and witty.
