A fun first in a series of a writer who finds herself involved in a situation that becomes a successful story for her writing career. Full of turns and twists with a surprise ending. Goodreads: 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.Fast-paced, deliciously witty, and wholeheartedly authentic in depicting the frustrations and triumphs of motherhood in all its messiness, hilarity, and heartfelt moment, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is the first in a brilliant new series from YA Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano. The first chapter of this book was a struggle for me. It was your classic "single mother with a terrible ex-husband" set-up, and not very well done. I put a 3 chapter cap on the book improving and moved on. I didn't even get halfway through Chapter 2 before the author straightened things out. Fun, fun book that made me laugh out loud a few times, and I'm looking forward to the next one. I've been seeing this book around for quite some time. The cover is fun, the title is intriguing, and I kept thinking I had seen the author's name before somewhere but I couldn't quite figure out where. Finlay Donovan is Killing It is a hilarious and thrilling romp that follows the titular character through a series of unfortunate (but super funny) events. The premise for this story is essentially: What happens when a murder mystery author gets mistaken for a hired killer? Then throw in the awkwardness of Finlay and how she accidentally keeps doing what she really shouldn't in an ethical manner, but should be doing for her hit job. The comedy in this book was fantastic as I watched Finlay stumble into each awkward event that only made her situation so much worse. It felt like this would be some comedy/thriller tv show, but it was in it's perfect literature form. I was grinning at the comedy throughout, wondering what in the world was going to happen, and I enjoyed the hints of romance that popped up in the book too. It was just the right mix of mystery, thrills, comedy, and romance that I couldn't put it down. The book leaves itself on a slight cliffhanger, where you could end it you're happy but you can also keep going - also known as, the good kind of cliffhanger. I loved this book and I'll be hunting for the sequel. Great job Elle Cosimano! Five out of five stars. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
