Shari Lapena is my fav author, but I’m gonna need to watch SpongeBob to get to sleep for a while after that one. 

 love the way that she writes. Lots of info frequently, lots of twists and very suspenseful. I didn’t look at the content warning for this book and almost wish I had.. the ending was great and I actually correctly guessed the murderer this time (first time in one of her books lol) but man was it dark. If you’re someone who is bothered by sexual harassment etc, maybe think twice about this one. Glad I read it, and it was VERY well done with a cool little snippet after the book about the authors life that pertains to the story but this story has multiple dark themes and is actually pretty gruesome IMO.

What Have You Done? By Shari Lapena 

This was a fast paced whodunnit thriller set in a small town with multiple POVs including the victim’s. Short chapters made you want to continue on and on.  The author’s engaging writing style held my interest throughout the story. Though I guessed “whodunnit” early on, Lapena threw in twists that threw me off the path a couple times. 

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys fast paced, easy, suspenseful, intense thrillers with a whodunnit vibe.

Another great fast paced thriller from Shari Lapena. It's sooo good. Unputdownable! For the record: I guessed the killer pretty early on. But i don't think it was predictable, i just have read too many thrillers lol AND i was still excited to read it! I had my theory but I was still unsure because there are so many red herrings and possibilities.

there are SO many characters in this book lmao. it's good for the plot though because their every single act fell like dominoes. and their lores are distinct so it's not confusing. although every time a name mentioned, i have to think for a few seconds as to who this person is lol but after that it's fine.
