NEW FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR GINA LAMANNA

Hello, world. My name is Lucy Little, and I'm an author.

Actually, my mom thinks I'm a homeless bum with no health insurance, and my dad truly believes I'm as famous as Brad Pitt. He frequently asks me to sign napkins that he passes out like currency at the local police station where he likes to steal doughnuts. He's a former cop. That probably makes his theft acceptable.

There's only one problem with this whole "author career" of mine, and it's that I'm not actually making all that much money from it. I like to say I have a burgeoning career; I am making a living, but it's a pretty dismal living. But that's all about to change. I've got a new game plan, a pen that's mightier than a sword—but not literally because I'm terrified of violence—and a bunch of words to put down on paper.

Unfortunately, my plan gets thrown out the window the day I stumble upon a real live dead body. The next thing I know, I'm wrapped up neck deep in a murder investigation with the superhot cop who is also my ex-boyfriend. It's all fun and games until the killer starts coming for me, and then I start wondering how I can write the end when I might be next?

It was a little bit of a slog at first, confusing to follow. But it got better quickly, i found all the characters to be quirky and funny, especially Bertie! I found my seld laughing at the main characters clumsiness.

Lots of laughs

There’s very little to like about this book. The author is distracted with the love triangle and forgets to leave interesting bits about the murders so you’re not taken along on a journey, the murderer is ridiculous, you couldn’t guess it because there were no clues at all and the main character doesn’t figure it out either, she just stumbles upon the person accidentally at the end. It’s just painfully long, I wouldn’t waste time on this, I had to skip through a lot to find out who did it and that was very anticlimactic!!

It’s a painful drag!
