Humorous fast paced mystery thriller, it follows Lucy who comes back to her hometown, where everyone thinks she's responsible for the murder of her best friend Savvy several years earlier but can't remember what happened that day. She crosses paths with Ben, a podcaster who is investigating Savvy's death.  I loved the main character, she was so compelling to read with her dark morbid thoughts. I loved her humour, messed up and no-nonsense attitude.  The writing was sharp and straightforward with the short chapters so it made for a quick read. I love the mix between Lucy's point of view and excerpts of Ben's podcast.  The mystery itself was super interesting and there were plenty of good twists, though I didn't really care about some subplots and minor elements. 
Overall a fun thriller I raged through.
