Publisher's summary

'A whip-smart whodunnit, this will keep you guessing' Red

'A fast-paced thriller with clever twists' Bella

Something bad happened last night. My best friend Posey is dead. The police think it was a tragic accident. I know she was murdered.

I’ve woken up with the hangover from hell, a stranger in my bed, and I’ve gone viral for the worst reasons.

There’s only one thing stopping me from dying of shame. I need to find a killer.

But after last night, I can’t remember a thing…

Story great about how slow did the lady read

I listened at 2.30x and the lady was still reading SLOW AF! And you can hear page turning her swallowing. Geez. Great sad story though

Not for me

I found the story sadly predictable. The main character repeats and repeats herself, which just drew out the book.

But for me the narration ruined it. At first, I appreciated her theatrics and dramatization, but after the second chapter, it became irritating. Not every sentence needed a gulp, a sigh or a choked with tears embellishment. I would give this book a miss.

There seems to also be a glitch with the ratings.
