Read this for training at work. I would recommend it if you want to be a better manager.
This book was so disappointing. The premise of the story is promising. I’ve heard great things about the author.
The female main characters get livid about nothing, and then something substantially offensive happens between them and they act like nothing really happened.
This book also flashes back to several characters that made the house famous for a murder, but also where a famous book and album were written. I still am not quite positive how many people were at the house at this time because I don’t think even the author kept the characters straight.
It gets under my skin when authors include podcasts in novels, as if it is the only media that millennials can learn from. What makes this embarrassing trope even worse is that the characters speak in the most cringy exaggerated slang of Gen Z. If someone told me a boomer wrote this section, I would 100% believe them.
If my previous review didn’t steer you clear of this novel, just please do not listen to the audiobook. The one actor’s southern accent is terrible and wildly inconsistent. I do listen to podcasts and a lot of them are done by women. People constantly whine about women podcasters and their vocal fry. I have never listened to a podcast where vocal fry was a “I-cannot-listen-to-this-one-more-second” level, but the part with the podcast will make a car alarm sound charming.

Don’t think too hard about it, and this is a pretty cute story.
This is the first graphic novel I have read. It was a good break from all of the reading I’ve done lately
I missed the part of the book summary about August’s Subway Girl being a ghost, so when that was revealed: major plot twist.
