David Alverez has never been able to live up to his early success. His first novel was very popular and got him a deal for the second one. Unfortunately, it wasn't well received at all. The third novel has been rejected by his publisher, so now, in his late 20s, David is struggling to figure out what to do next. His long=term relationship has ended, all of his book money has been spent, and he's out of ideas. With nothing really to do and to put off the panic about not being able to pay next month's rent, David hooks up with random men he meets on dating apps. One night he meets a wonderful man named Robert. After a night of bar hopping, they end up back at David's small apartment. When David wakes up in the morning, he discovers Robert dead in bed beside him. Luckily, he has one friend left who might help him out of a sticky situation, his agent Stacey. After they think the situation has been handled and the police find nothing suspicious about the death, Stacey convinces David to use the unique situation as fodder for his next best-seller. As David gets started on that project, he's contacted to write another book -- working alongside Robert's husband, who is a famous news personality. The rest of the book deals with David's paranoia that Robert's husband knows what he did and is looking for revenge. Is he truly suspicious, or is David's fear causing him to see things that aren't there?

I liked the book for the most part, but I was expecting something major to happen at the end -- a final "gotcha" or twist, but there was just a sort of disappointing ending of nothing much. I suppose the book wasn't meant to be a thriller (as I'd hoped) but instead to chart David's journey from spoiled mess to somewhat responsible adult. I just wish there had been a better ending to end on. As it was, I was left somewhat deflated.
