The horrors of going viral on social media twinned with a twisty murder mystery – contemporary fiction at its best, I loved it!

I was ridiculously excited to be able to read the next Katy Brent book as I LOVED her last book and I did feel there was a high standard set for this new release but it was even better than I was expecting it to be. So far, so standard for Molly, who is struggling to navigate her early thirties and endeavoured to make the most of the free drinks at her company Christmas party. This book is a story about manipulation, the influence of the wealthy, the power of social media and how in the case of Molly, a ten second video going viral has devastating consequences for those involved. This is a brilliant, funny, heartbreaking story about friendship, grief, lies, and what women face as they navigate an enduringly misogynistic world. I suddenly didn't trust any of the characters and was questioning everybody because the mystery was just brilliant and then the plot twists!As I reader, I immediately felt protective of her and was cheering her on as she uncovered more and more of the truth. NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A well-rounded cast of characters, quick pace, and thrilling twists make this one of my favourites of the year !

I absolutely adored Katy Brent's debut novel, How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, so I was beyond excited to read her next release. I really enjoyed Katy Brent's debut novel, "How to Kill Men and Get Away With It", so there was never any doubt that I was going to be coming back for her next offering. After how much I loved How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, I was super excited to see how a second book from Katy Brent fared in comparison.Brent’s signature wit and humour coming through the whole time, making it comedic in the midst of the darker undertones. At the heart of the story, Molly is certainly not without her flaws, but she is drawn in such a way that the reader cannot help but empathise with her. Molly Monroe wakes up the morning after her work Christmas party with the hangover to end all hangovers. It’s not often that I find an author with a similar sense of humour to me, but Brent has hit the nail on the head with laugh-out-loud moments and hilarious lines spread out perfectly between the dark and ominous. One of the things I loved most about this book and also Katy Brent's last book is that although there's the humour and the mystery , there's also some very real and very serious topics that always get included that are so thought provoking to the reader and I found this one particularly, really emotional.

From the author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, don't miss this utterly thrilling and laugh-out-loud novel, perfect for fans of Bella Mackie, Dawn O'Porter and Killing Eve. Plot-wise, this was excellent: a cast of characters who were all distinct and easy to remember, and all suspicious enough to warrant an imaginary question mark over their heads; the murderer could have been any of them. I’ve woken up with the hangover from hell, a stranger in my bed, and I’ve gone viral for the worst reasons. This book is much more than its premise suggests, dealing with some incredibly heavy themes, including sexual assault, suicide, alcohol abuse, social media threats, and the loss of a loved one. Whilst there were many sensitive topics brought up, and moments that left me on the edge of my seat, the sprinkling of humour really tied this book together and made it the perfect one-sitting-read.If you are seeking a captivating and immersive book that provides a unique form of distraction, then this is a must-read to add to your TBR list! I just loved the balance between the emotional, serious subject matters and then the humour and the distracting mystery too.
