Like a Sister

For a book with as many accolades as the one this received. I expected a lot more from it. Instead, what I got was a book that had a boring plot, told me a lot about the daily happenings of a boring character, an unsatisfying mystery, and an ending that could not come quickly enough. Has anyone figured out why she was scratching her wrist yet? I won't be reading anything else from this author.

2.5 stars - it was entertaining enough. I'm not really a fan of thriller type stories, so take this as your grain of salt. Usually my complaints are that I don't like civilians investigating murders (check), I don't believe conspiracies are as common as writers like to use them (check), and no matter how many hints are dropped, I will never figure out whodunnit on my own (check). When the killer was finally revealed, I didn't believe their motivations, and then the story wrapped up super fast with little closure. I did enjoy the aspects of this around social media influencers, and the use of technology in ways that felt fresh.
