Gwen is having a rough go, out on the online dating scene after coming out of a bad breakup. Except all the dates that she's been going on mysteriously start dying. Swiped is part dark humour, part thriller. I really liked the premise of this book, but some of the twists didn't quite hit for me. Part of Gwen's character is that she's meant to come off as this hot mess express (which is very apparent in how she makes herself a part of the murder investigations), but despite that I really disliked how those around her judged her online dating habits and made it seem like she was doing something she shouldn't be (especially when the guys she was getting matched with were the weirdos).
Cool idea, just overall not the best execution for me!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc, in exchange for honest review.
