Truly, Madly, Deadly


My tentative goal for October is to read only thrillers/murder mysteries/dark romances/paranormals/etc (unless my mental health kicks up a fight about it). Here's Hannah Jayne's "Truly, Madly, Deadly."

["They said it was an accident…

Sawyer Dodd is a star athlete, a straight-A student, and the envy of every other girl who wants to date Kevin Anderson. When Kevin dies in a tragic car crash, Sawyer is stunned. Then she opens her locker to find a note:

You’re welcome.

Someone saw what he did to her. Someone knows that Sawyer and Kevin weren’t the perfect couple they seemed to be. And that someone—a killer—is now shadowing Sawyer’s every move…"]

This one. Wow. I mean, there were like 3-5 suspects at any given time. And the list only got smaller because the suspects were getting murdered off. And no one believed Sawyer. No one. This person did such a good job at isolating and framing Sawyer, gaslighting her, praying on her vulnerability and her families'/friends' sympathy (using it to pit them against her). Wow. 

Like all thrillers/mysteries, I didn't honestly know who was the culprit. And I didn't know who I wanted to be guilty (don't look at me like that; you know what I mean). But then the twists finally stopped? I was actually right for once (go, me!!).

I might just go and binge the rest of Hannah's things now...

Trigger Warnings: partner violence, drunk driving, suicide, predatory sexual harassment, and more
