fast-paced

I liked the characters and the story line. This would make a good rom com.

This was a cute. It did give suspension bridge effect vibes. I think I would've liked it more if I had more about the characters before this story, but that defeats the point of a novella. I'll have to check out other books by this author.

The concept was cute. I did find the FMC a little annoying and some of the dialogue was cringey. Not my cup of tea, or toilet bowl of salt water, but I think other people would enjoy it.

Absolutely adorable. I am a sucker for anything that involves pen pals, bonus points if it's anonymous. I was giggling and kicking my feet.

Reading this for the first time in my 30s definitely gives me a different perspective than reading it first as a teen. But omg I can't stand Bella. She is the absolute worst friend. We knew that in the last book, but this book just emphasized how much she only cares about herself and not how what she does impacts anyone else. And her poor father. #teamcharlie

Went into it knowing nothing other than I trust T Kingfisher. What a lovely little story.

I liked that the defendant’s name was never mentioned. The focus shouldn’t be on them, and as a society we’re really good at turning murderers into celebrities.
informative medium-paced

It makes me so immensely angry that this level of misogyny isn’t taken seriously for how harmful and dangerous it actually is.

Soft DNFing for now (but will probably forget about it entirely). This was purchased for me while working towards my masters in social work and now that I’ve been in the field for a decade it hasn’t been anything especially new or interesting and I just don’t feel like reading something this long if I’m not going to gain anything from it.
