Swipe Right for Murder by Derek Milman
4.0

Aidan is away at a boarding school in NYC when he accidentally gets mixed up in a cyberterrorist group targeting anti-LGBTQA people and groups.

This wasn't a bad read... but it was a little bit confusing at times. I often found myself having to go back a few pages, as the timeline or events just felt off. I don't think it was necessarily the pacing, but just felt like little things pulled me out of the story because I was scratching my head to figure things out a bit more than I would have liked.

I do like the character progression for Aidan and others though, and as a character-driven reader it definitely improved the book for me. I was able to overlook some of the things that left me scratching my head and focus more on the individual characters.

Overall, I give this a 3.5/5 stars, but will be rounding up to 4 on whole number sites, primarily because of the character development.
