  Trying to find love in the digital age is fraught and often comical. But, occasionally, it might turn deadly. 


This was darkly humorous and a bit of fun as a young woman on a dating app has a ton of bad dates. Recently broken up with a long term boyfriend, she’s disillusioned by the creeps she meets. There is never a second date. Then, they start turning up dead. 


I wish I could have related more to the main character, but I didn’t and the things she did and got away with drove me a bit nuts. There were some great lines that made me laugh, but I never connected with Gwen. Of course the concept was a bit far fetched and the conclusion was like way out there of straining credulity, but it was fast and kept me entertained for a couple of hours.


I was able to listen to the audiobook while also following along in the e-book. I have to say that I liked the book much more than the audio production. The narrator was OK, but there were a lot of discrepancies between the words in the novel and the voice of the narrator. I probably liked the book more because the terms were less British. I wasn’t that big a fan of the narrator’s voice. In any event, I still like the whole listening and reading experience.

This is a standalone and is not part of any series.

Genre - light, funny, dating, murder, cheating
