This story had me curious. I checked the reviews which were mixed and I did take them serious but was still willing to give it a try!
When it started out with dancing- I thought this just might work.

Our main characters are Edie Walker and Peter Masterson.
Edie is thirty-five but things are not going the way she had hoped either with her career or her love life. She has always had a crush on Peter. So when he breaks up with his girlfriend of seven –Edie thinks things just might turn around.

Except Peter doesn’t look at her other than a friend and ends up with Anaya Thomas, a beautiful professor and writer of feminist literature.

Then Anaya is found dead in her apartment—after a date with Peter and he is a suspect.

I did feel sorry for Edie her situation with Peter as well as what was happening at her home with her parent.
However, I found both Edie and Peter unlikeable - Plus I am never pleased with hearing profanity – always makes me wish I could bleep it.
Story does start out with content trigger warning ~ Eating Disorders, Alcoholism, Abuse, Murder, Drugs/DO and Suicide; I had been warned. But I wanted to give a debut author a chance-so hung in there.
It did get better!

Want to thank NetGalley, Harper Audio Audio/Harper Audio and William Morrow for granted me this audiobook.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for February 18, 2025.
