NetGalley Review of Sex, Lies, and Online Dating Dating by Rachel Gibson

This felt like watching one of those 2010s Lifetime movies about people in their 30s online dating. There’s more to that, of course, since the main character is a mystery writer and is using an online service to get inspiration for her next book about a female serial killer, and her love interest is a cop who thinks she is an actual serial killer. If I hadn’t read this via audiobook, I probably would’ve DNFed it, not because there was anything problematic or structurally wrong, this was just mediocre writing. Was it entertaining? Sure, at times, but I think it was trying too hard to be original to the point where it became unrealistic.
