You'd Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace

I had a good time with this. Didn't see the twist coming. The narrator voice is funny and Claire is an interesting MC to follow around. 

Despite everything wrapping up very well, I did feel like there was almost too much going on. But when things started to become overwhelming the narrative naturally came together. 

The summary did feel a bit misleading. I thought we were going to explore Claire "seeing people as ghosts" a bit more? But it's just offhandedly mentioned and I don't fully understand what is going on there.

Overall, this was a pretty light read for a book about a serial killer.
