May Day by Jess Lourey
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
May Day was a book I was pretty excited to read — a murder mystery, small town setting and funny/lighthearted narration? Count me in.
I finished a bit over half the book, and the more I progressed, the more I dreaded even opening it. While I really enjoyed the first quarter or so, I couldn’t connect enough to most of the characters (with the only exception being Mira), and especially not to Jeff. Therefore, I didn’t really care about his death, or who caused it, or whatever.
At some points, the book is also quite slow paced and drags a bit. Maybe I’ll give this book another try someday, or read another of the author’s books (since I do quite enjoy the writing style), but I’ll leave this one for now.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
