I Need You to Read This by Jessa Maxwell
3.5
adventurous lighthearted

I picked this book based on the cover imagery and the brief synopsis on the inside flap of the dust jacket, without even realizing that I had the author's previous Golden Spoon and enjoyed it.

This one is a quick read that maintained my interest because I was in the mood for something light and breezy. Not a thriller in the traditional sense, unrealistic and eye-roll-enducing in parts but also feels low stakes. That being said, there's the obligatory murder, violence, gaslighting, and all the tropes, but somehow, I didn't mind that too much. Snappy writing; overall, a yes from me.
