Molly Monroe woke up with a blazing hangover with a partially dressed hot dude in her bed; what she didn't know then was that she was trending worldwide on social media having been filmed performing a sex act in public in Central London; oh, and her best friend lay dead in the bathroom! 'Teen mag' journalist Molly refuses to believe her fellow journalist and flatmate died in an accident and sets about investigating the death whilst her name and image are trending like crazy and she is being vilified and ridiculed on multiple aps, and being dissected in the mainstream media!

The narrative voice was one of the few things I really liked with Katy Brent's
How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, but this book blew off my face, what a ride. Another great narrative voice alongside a story, a plot, a mystery that I just couldn't put down. A very much recommend 21st century read. I enjoyed this on multiple levels; I feel that the last piece of the writing jigsaw now for Katy, is a bit more flesh on her supporting characters. All-on-all, I am very much queueing up for her next book; indeed I would very much like another book on Molly Monroe off-key woman investigative journo!

Rosh Excellent review, Baba! I would have dismissed this book as a typical trendy novel, but looks like it covers a lot more. I'm glad it reached enough stars in your rating index. :)

It does indeed, I didn't mention it in my review it also raisers multiple gender inequality issues, but I didn't feel they were actually tackled, they were just highlighted, so I didn't mention them in my review.


Tina Wow, what a premise! The cover looks like chick lit yet this seems more. An excellent review Baba ⭐️

Thanks Tina, the cover is interesting as it makes more sensed after reading the book, but I can see how it could put people off. I picked this one up after reading the first few lines of the back cover blurb :)
