Hello and happy Saturday. It’s that time of the month when I’m impatiently waiting to get paid and will resort to free activities such as reading at home. Before that, though, I wanted to tell you a bit about Imperfect Lives by C.J Washington, which is a novel I was reading until NetGalley removed it from the app because it had expired. This is not a full review because that will come when I actually finish the book, which will happen, hopefully, within a couple of months.

I read until the 50% mark and was super into the stories. Reading this felt like reading the transcript of a true crime video, which I love to watch on YouTube. We read from three POVs: the one from a guy who’d recently confessed that he had been a murderer for hire for the past nineteen years, the one from a woman who is told by the FBI that her husband’s death was linked to said murderer, and the one from a woman whose dad had actually hired the murderer.

I don’t know enough about the mystery genre to tell you what type of novel this would be or what subgenre it would fit into; it was the perfect companion for a cold Sunday. I’ll give you my full review when I finish reading it.
