**You Will Never Be Me by Jesse Q Sutanto: **this was an adult thriller written by the author of Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, the first cozy mystery I read an loved. The book follows two social media mommy influencers who want to kill each other. This author is now an auto buy for me. This was fun and thrilling.
