Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!

Hated the prologue and was very grateful when the chapters after weren’t written in the same manner. The book cover is very cool, pulling me in from the jump just seeing it on the book page. Overall some very interesting character dynamics and although the characters (especially Kelli) aren’t perfect or even most times sympathetic, I found myself very curious what they would do next and how they’d get on as the story progressed. Although sometimes I did find the main character a bit annoying….
The main character's relationship with a serial killer is an interesting plot thread made even more interesting when it is revealed her father was also put in jail for a murder (Although it turns out to not be so cut and dry). One moment though, felt a little like “stop trying to make Fetch happen” and it was so distracting, when the main character shortens boyfriend to Boyf, No. As well as referencing recent media like The Bear or Gilmore Girls. Some of the authors descriptions and comments are quite nice though. 
Laughed a little when the main character's partner says celebrities she shared a birthday with and she mentions a serial killer she shares a birthday with. Not funny but also very funny. 



Interesting debut. Might check out the next books from this author.
