#FollowMe for Murder by Sarah E. Burr
DID NOT FINISH: 37%

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley. This is going to be a hard pass at 37%. I just cannot. 

For a mystery being written by adults, I find this one to have many YA elements. I did not need 2-3 pages on Coco's getting dressed routine. How her eyes can look different colors and then even how she went to the salon many times to get the right shade of hair. While I can do vapid characters, this was a bit much for me. 

I just found the first 1/3 of the book to drag on and on. Coco's inner talk was just long and drawn out. I have seen reviews say this picks up at the 2/3 mark. I don't want to wait that long for characters I do not like.
