Goodreads Synopsis:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she\u2019s really not. She\u2019s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay\u2019s life is in the new book she promised her literary agent isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, she\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Thoughts:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n I was going through a bit of a reading slump early in the summer, and this book was exactly what I needed to get out of it. It’s not deeply meaningful or realistic, but it was so much fun, I didn’t want to put it down. The twists and turns are so crazy, you never know what will happen next. Finlay Donovan is a great character and I can’t wait to read more books in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n
