Ohhh The Murder after the Night Before is a delicious read!
It touches on the stigma of having a video go viral, revenge porn and intense victim blaming. Mollie, our main character, has to navigate all of this, while also waking up and discovering that her roommate and best friend has passed away.
The police close the case an accident, but Mollie is certain this was murder! She deepdives into solving the case, simultaneously also navigating the fallout of her viral moment
Well written and interesting, it unfortunately tapers off near the end, and was quite predictable!

This book was just SOMETHING ELSE!! I was ridiculously excited to be able to read the next Katy Brent book as I LOVED her last book and I did feel there was a high standard set for this new release but it was even better than I was expecting it to be. The main thing that I adore about Katy Brent's books is absolutely her humour. I found myself laughing out loud so many times at some of the stuff that Molly was saying, she was hilarious! so that definitely had me gripped instantly. The story itself was brilliant, the beginning of the book honestly reels you in for many reasons but the story starts to unpack pretty quickly and you're just obsessed with the mystery surrounding the story. I suddenly didn't trust any of the characters and was questioning everybody because the mystery was just brilliant and then the plot twists! honestly it was written so well, there was a couple of times that I wanted to shake Molly for not realising things quicker but then I also didn't guess quite a bit of the reveals so there we go!
One of the things I loved most about this book and also Katy Brent's last book is that although there's the humour and the mystery , there's also some very real and very serious topics that always get included that are so thought provoking to the reader and I found this one particularly, really emotional. There was a lot about grief included in the story and how it can affect you. I just loved the balance between the emotional, serious subject matters and then the humour and the distracting mystery too. I also loved (can you tell how much I BLOODY LOVED it) that there was actually so much that happened in this book but the pace was PERFECT. there was never a moment where it started to slow down too much but it wasn't overwhelming or confusing at all. I found it to be a perfect pace where it was such a page turner, you always wanted to know what happened you always kept reading it "just one more chapter.." style and suddenly you've finished the book in a day or two and then afterwards, when you think about everything about happened you realised that actually LOADS of stuff went on but at no point did it become too much, because (and yes ill say it again) it was just done perfectly. I think this may be my favourite read of the year and I absolutely will be reading everything and anything that Katy Brent releases in the future.

A cleverly written and gripping book that I know I’m going to have a book hangover from for a while that I took my time reading because I didn’t want to stop reading and much like the author’s other amazing read has moments of a dark humour that fits in with the story. I’m really looking forward to reading what Katy Brent writes next.

Katy Brent's second novel is just as good as her debut - 'How to Kill Men and Get Away With It' - if not better.
Molly Monroe - a journalist for a girl's magazine, flatmate of Posey celebrates a little too much on a staff Christmas night out.
It's these celebrations that set off a catastrophic chain of events for Molly - she ends up trending on social media due to being caught performing an act outside of a bar on an unidentified man. However, this is just the start of Molly's problems - who is the man that she has woken up to, where is her flatmate and why does the next-door neighbour think she is another slag?
Katy's writing is witty and relatable, it's a book that most young women can identify with. We've all had a bit too much to drink on a night out and regretted our actions but perhaps not to the same length that Molly does.
The Murder After the Night Before also has a great twist at the end.
Recommendable read - an author to watch out for!

Absolutely amazing book that had me racing through the pages. I couldn’t put this down and finished it in hours. Such a clever and gripping book.
