genre: contemporary mystery
Joy and Benny have got a good thing going with their podcast This Story Might Save Your Life. It's a huge hit and their following has gotten huge, so much so that it's gotten a little overwhelming for Joy, who lives with severe narcolepsy. When Joy and her husband Xander aren't home one morning when Benny comes over to record, it feels like it must just be a miscommunication until it is clear that they are truly missing. Benny is soon desperate to find out what happened to his best friend and her husband.
This one snagged me from the first chapter. There are a few little tropes in here but for the most part I just had no clue what was going to happen next, in the best way. I am SO glad I did the audio, the podcast episodes were a fun narrative device. The writing never dragged and it felt just tight enough. I appreciated reading about a character with narcolepsy and thinking about how that would impact one's life on a moment to moment basis. This never felt like a thriller but it was a solid mystery for me and kept me invested from beginning to end.
