Welcome to Litsy!

Ugh… I was so excited for this to be our #BooksNHoes #bookclub read, and while it certainly led to a lively discussion, it otherwise failed to live up to my expectations. For a “true crime” book, this harbors zero justice, and manages to get overly bogged down by COVID details to kill any kind of pacing. It sounds interesting but fails to deliver on so many levels. I kept feeling like while the women investigated, there was so much condescension!

This month‘s #BooksNHoes selection makes for a super-fast-paced and genuinely fun read! I could hardly put this time-traveler-ish thriller down! The book opens with narrator Jen witnessing her son murder a man the night before Halloween. But when she wakes up the next day, the pumpkins aren‘t even carved… while some twists seem more obvious than others here, it winds up full of surprises and genuinely impossible to put down!
