As a fellow people pleaser this book immediately caught my eye and then when I saw what it was about it complflipped on its head. I’m not much of a murder mystery buff but as someone who loves all things entertainment and Hollywood I could wait to dive in and see this mystery unfold
Good overall, decent, likeable characters. The pace of the story was a bit off but I kept reading to find out who the murderer was!
A really interesting premise - a reality star is killed and her family and friends decide to investigate who killed her after the police shut down the case. This is a interesting commentary on the dark and misogynistic world of reality TV and how it can negatively impact those in it's orbit.
The characters are well-written and the plot is well paced, it's a very engaging and enjoyable read. There are enough twists to keep you reading and the ending is well thought through.
The concept of this book is great - an ex-Love Island-style reality tv star is murdered and her friends and family want to find out who killed her and why. I loved the episode narratives that went into the reality of reality TV. I wasn’t hugely invented in the murder plot, I have to admit, and found the ending slightly disappointing. But this is a good beach read for anybody who has ever watched reality TV.
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC! I really enjoyed this read - I thought it flowed nicely and kept me hooked from the beginning. I loved the chapters in Maggie’s perspective whilst she was on the show, I thought that added a lot to the story to be able to read her POV. I’m a big fan of a murder mystery so trying to scope out the characters throughout was fun. I also liked the whole premise of the book, as it felt relevant to how reality shows operate in reality.
The pacing felt a bit off to me? I didn't really like any of the characters but I felt compelled to continue reading because I wanted to know who the murderer was. I think if you love reality TV and whodunnit then this would be right up your street. Overall it wasn't awful, but it also wasn't for me
A reality TV celebrity, Maggie, is found dead, and her sister Emma takes the matter to her own hands - whodunnit?
The beginning hooked me. It was witty, well-paced, and interesting.
After about 30%, I kept reading to find out who the murderer was.
Overall, this is a good murder mystery. It was not my cup of tea, but I recommend it to murder mystery lovers.
Overall this was a pretty good mystery with a couple of solid twists. The pacing was a bit off, and there were parts that dragged, but in general the plot was pretty well structured. I didn't really connect with any of the characters, but the ending was satisfying enough that I'm glad I stuck with it.
I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.
Really enjoyed this. A twisting plot that shows the darker side of fame and fortune. Lies, revelations and secrets have a way of coming out, and that's exactly what goes down in People Pleaser!
I have to say, I am rubbish when it comes to guessing the 'who done it' in thrillers like this. And I can confirm, this time was no different! 🙈😂 There were a few gasps from me as the story unravelled. You will change your mind throughout (if you're anything like me!), and that's the sign of a great story in my eyes! I like to be kept on my toes and this kept the story fast paced and exciting.
I'd definitely recommend this to others.
