I know the point of this book was to leave us in an off putting mood, however, I’m kind of annoyed.

Writing? Amazing, engaging, mysterious. When the twist started twisting, it got over complicated to then be fix it on a very anticlimatic way for the simplest reasons. The tone that the book was setting was way darker than the ending suggested, and it felt not right for what it was builing from the beginning.

I read Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls at some point last year, and it was so forgettable that I completely forgot to even add it to Goodreads (and I'm on here updating my currently reading list at least once a day, so that's saying something!).

It starts off strong: a June's ex-best friend allegedly commits suicide, but June doesn't believe that Delia would have done that so decides to solve her murder. Cue a montage of detecting: sneaking into Delia's home, harrassing her ex-boyfriend, and crashing the party of a well-known drug dealer whom Delia had links to.

Then things get BEYOND WACKY. I can't go into it because of spoilers, but let's just say that this book requires extremely high suspension of disbelief and that's not something I've ever excelled at. I'll be honest, a lot of it has been completely erased from my mind, but I can remember finishing the story and just staring blankly at my Kindle for a few moments because I just couldn't comprehend how crazy everything had gotten.

The characterization was pretty weak: at one point you jump between June and Delia's narratives, but I kept having to flip back to the beginning of each chapter to see who I was following because there was no differentiation in their voices at all.

This is the second Lynn Weingarten book I've read, but I don't think I'm going to be reading any more because they've both been horribly forgettable.

This is such a hard book to review, because on the one hand I loved it and on the other hand it really bugged me. It started off so well - strong characters, a strong storyline and, in the beginning at least, it felt like a good thriller: it was tense and it kept me guessing. And then, alas, it went too far and I felt disconnected. It started off so strongly and then just sort of...fell apart and honestly, that made me sad.

Already reviewed and feedback sent ages ago. Not sure why these are duplicating. But please find review content at my archived blog www.behindonbooks.wordpress.com
