Mondays are Murder by Ravena Guron
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
4.5
4.5 Stars. This would’ve been five stars because the story was amazing, I loved the characters, the suspense, EVERYTHING. But, there was one little bit that took me out of the story and really irked me. Everything else was amazing and I devoured this, but I had to put it down for a while because of this line.
spoiler:
I took off a half star for this: When the paramedic tells Kay “you’ve fractured your ankle - but its not a break”. Because… thats just straight up wrong. A paramedic can say “you’ve probably fractured your ankle” but I can’t think of any medical staff that can confirm a fracture without a scan - XRAY. So they really can’t say that. Second thing - a fracture IS a break. They’re the same thing, people seem to think theres a difference, but there really isn’t. I think the idea is people think a break is right through the bone, and a fracture is just a little bit. But they’re BOTH breaks and so this line just really bothered me, especially when Kay then jokes that she told Nikki she’s not break her leg falling off the roof …. Because she broke her ANKLE (which, most people would refer to as leg) falling off the roof.
