AHHH! I loved this!!! I listened to this on audiobook and it was just so much fun. Describing a random dude as “a ginger Super Mario” was great. This was everything LOVE IN THE TIME OF SERIAL KILLERS (my opp) wanted to be. It was cute, it was quirky, it had that Bridget Jones meets small town murder mystery vibe and I ATE IT UP!!!! Ordering a physical copy asap cause I do need to re-read and annotate.
The only *ONLY* little “eh” part for me was I found out about 80% of the way through the book that it was written by a man, and idk if it was just having that knowledge or what, but it painted the final climax of the book in a different light. Like all of a sudden I was like “oh yeah, a man def wrote this” but before that I couldn’t tell at all and was LOLing and everything. It had such great quick, witty humor, and I loved Gwen. She’s a character that you feel like you know irl. Does she make the best decisions? No. Do you still empathize with her? Yeah.
Last thing - I’m American so every time they made that damn taser seem like a gun I chuckled. I hate guns but when she was talking to the cop abt it like it was a deadly weapon I was like omg.
