Ms. Demeanor by Elinor Lipman

2.5

---

i dont think this book was really able to decide what it wanted to be. it kept go between a romance, becoming tiktok famous, and a murder mystery.

at first i thought it was going to be about a scheme from her job trying to get her fired, then i thought the old lady was a part of the scheme and it was going to have a major plot twist (it didn’t). and then the romance was sweet, but didn’t seem like the main point (but the last 25% of the book seems to think otherwise. overall i had fun with it, but it had a lot more potential, just needed some direction.
