Writing, Characters, Twists & Turns

Where do I begin? I requested a copy from netgalley and was excited that they excepted. So of course, I began reading speeding through it yesterday and finishing it today. Jessa Maxwell does it again. I like the fact that Alex Marks is an advice columnist whose been through a rough patch of her own, trying to find out who killed her childhood hero and why which makes this murder mystery original. The characters both good and evil were well written & my favorites were Alex, Janice & Raymond. There were so many twists & turns, I won’t go into too much detail because I’m afraid I’m going to spoil it, but Jessa Maxwell is a master at her craft. If you thought Jessa’s debut novel The Golden Spoon was excellent, she does even better with I Need You To Read This.  Theres nothing I dislike about this book, I just wish it were longer because I enjoyed it a lot!
