I enjoyed this a lot. The social media aspect and the voyeuristic follower. The desire to fit in and be liked and not to forget being a total people pleaser during a terrible date. Tie this into the overarching "who done it" and I'll definitely be back for this debut novelists second book.

Great story and an enjoyable read, just a shame about the very poor editing, which at times was very distracting to the story (may have given 5 stars 🌟 otherwise). Enjoyed the plot, twists, and the main character was relatable. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next release by this author. I just hope it's edited much better!

Great read! Highly engaging storyline, very witty with vivid characters and a twist at the end. Couldn't put it down. A refreshing change to the usual MM stuff.
