Gwen Turner's life has taken a turn for the worse; she broke up with her perfect boyfriend, she quit her job after being offered a promotion, and her bestfriend is getting married, and she has to find a new roommate. She finds solace in Connector, where she swipes right to almost every crappy man possible. All her dates have been the worst; but she's still holding out hope. She's apprehensive when the first body shows up, but all hope vanishes when a second body is found and the only connection between them is her.
The concept is very interesting, but it quickly gets overshadowed by the protagonist's ridiculousness. I never guessed the killer's identity correctly, which is always nice. However, the ending is where it really goes off the rails and I didn't like that.
