Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she’s really not. She’s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: the new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors.
When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, she’s mistaken for a contract killer, and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet . . . Soon, Finlay discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation.

Only read this if you believe moms have the power to be an assassin writer with multiple boyfriends who still makes it in time to tuck you in at night.
Finlay is a mess...and it was a blast to read. This book verges on funny just how much she is going through and struggling with, and while at times it is over the top, it's also relatable because every single human being is struggling with at least something, so reading about characters who aren't perfect and rooted in real time feels like a much needed reassurance to get. Awesome book, and despite all that Finlay struggles with and does at points, she is now one of my favorite fictional characters!

This was a fun read. I actually was guessing up until the end of the book of how it would end and all plots tied up together.
This poor woman just had all odds against her. It wasn't her day or week in the beginning of the book. But with random chances, miscommunications, lots of adventure, and two hot guys - her luck turns around.
i am tired of white american mom with shitty ex husband books
