Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead is my favorite kind of thriller — the type of book where it's too good to speed through, and every time I put it down, I can't wait to return to it. I won't say too much for risk of spoiling anything, but I do want to call out that I love how the author did the flashbacks. They didn't seem as formulaic or forced as a lot books often do. Instead, the present plotline teed them up so that when the timeline did jump, the reader was already antsy to see it play out.

Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Colbert seems to have a pretty good life. A wealthy fiancé she adores, a great job, and well, even though she doesn’t have any friends, I mean really, who has the time. But looks can be deceiving. When she finds out a movie will be made about a tragedy she survived, everything in her new perfect life quickly starts to fall apart.
I’m not going to delve deeply into the plot, but the story is told in the now and when Charlie was a student(and something awful happened). Figuring out not only what happened,but also the role Charlie played kept me flipping the pages. I flip-flopped between feeling sorry for her and being sure she was hiding a lot and I mean a lot. Did I guess the ending? Well, yes and no, only because I change my mind after every chapter.
This is the kind of book that normally I would just read in the morning on my treadmill(fast paced and a perfect read while getting morning exercise ).However, when I came home for the day, and I was ready to settle down with a book, I went right back to this one. I just couldn’t wait to find out what was going on with Charlie. 4.5 stars.

A quality thriller with a good amount of twists and turns. I do not think that the story was anything special, but I was not at all disappointed in reading it either.

Thank you to Minotaur Books for letting me read this early.


So I ended up finishing this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, told in past and present you follow Charlie as she struggles to recall one of the worst nights of her life. It’s fast paced the writing is fantastic and the ending completely surprised me. Highly reccomend!
