Hello Hello! How are you doing this cold and windy Sunday?

Today I am reviving my blog again to bring you my spotlight post for You’ll Be The Death of Me by Karen M. McManus, currently on #UltimateBlogTour, organised by Dave and the team from @The_WriteReads.

So far, I have read all of Karen M. McManus’s books, except this one of course. When I saw that Dave was having it on a tour, I couldn’t resist. I didn’t have time to read it for the tour because of how hectic my life is at the moment with work, university and my thesis, but as soon as I get a bit of extra time for myself, I will definitely be reading and reviewing it on my blog! Keep your eyes peeled in 2022 for my thoughts on this new YA thriller/mystery from the Queen of the genre.

Thank you as always to Dave for letting me take part in this tour, and to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for a review (which will be coming soon).

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS

Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be close. Now all they have in common is Carlton High and the beginning of a very bad day.

Type A Ivy lost a student council election to the class clown, and now she has to face the school, humiliated. Heartthrob Mateo is burned out–he’s been working two jobs since his family’s business failed. And outsider Cal just got stood up…. again.

So when Cal pulls into campus late for class and runs into Ivy and Mateo, it seems like the perfect opportunity to turn a bad day around. They’ll ditch and go into the city. Just the three of them, like old times. Except they’ve barely left the parking lot before they run out of things to say…

Until they spot another Carlton High student skipping school–and follow him to the scene of his own murder. In one chance move, their day turns from dull to deadly. And it’s about to get worse.

It turns out Ivy, Mateo, and Cal still have some things in common. They all have a connection to the dead kid. And they’re all hiding something.

Now they’re all wondering–could it be that their chance reconnection wasn’t by chance after all?

From the author of One of Us Is Lying comes a brand-new pulse-pounding thriller. It’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with murder when three old friends relive an epic ditch day, and it goes horribly–and fatally–wrong.
