[4.5 stars]

This was compulsively readable. I LOVED the mixed media of the podcast transcripts mixed into the MC's perspective. Lucy heads back to her hometown five years after leaving town, when everyone thought she murdered her best friend.

I truly enjoyed Lucy as a main character - her snark was a girl after my own heart. I loved her no-nonsense humor and deadpan way that she treats her family and friends that have chosen to not believe her. It all comes out in the wash and I was here for it! ...more

I think this book started out good, but then with the author adding way too many characters and with the last third of the book dragging, it lost at least one star in rating. I believe that this is the authors first 'adult' book - she has been a YA author - and the book tended to note that. I am thinking she will get better as she goes, unless she resorts to writing more YA than adult material.

A woman with amnesia. Not able to remember the night her best friend was killed and years later ...more

Audio. 3.5 ⭐️ I’m a crime podcast junkie and murder mystery book fan.

Put those together for a clever book. I liked it.

I’d go to 4 but…. It wasn’t very riveting.

Everyone in Plumbton, TX thinks that Lucy murdered her best friend, Savannah - even Lucy herself.

She has no memory of the murder 5 years ago due to the blunt-force head injury she received that night and, since Plumbton apparently has no police force, Lucy simply assumed that she killed Savvy and moved far away.

It isn't until Ben, the famous podcast host, shows up in Plumbton that people start to recall the events of that night. Everyone keen on their 7 minutes of fame, they each reveal their da ...more

I liked the podcast format. I really liked Lucy’s sarcasm and snark when it came to people assuming her guilt. Sometimes I thought there were too many people to keep up with which was annoying. Also TW for spousal abuse and most men in this book being jerks.

i What if everybody thought you murdered your best friend?

What if you didn’t know if that was true or not because you couldn’t remember?

five years ago, Lucy was found, stumbling along the highway with a head injury, and not remembering what happened

And her best friend is behind her dead

Why wouldn’t everyone th think she had done it, and she had no way to know, or to prove that she did not do it.

I really enjoyed this read I’d highly recommend it

LOTS of twists and surprises in this one. As a true-crime podcast fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the format. A suspenseful, gripping page-turner. 4.5 stars
