Here is another book that I read simply because the title intrigued me. Everyone Who Can Forgive Me is Dead is a considered a psychological thriller that had been praised for its twisty plot, unreliable narrator, and exploration of memory, guilt, and trauma, drawing comparisons to Luckiest Girl Alive and The Lost Night. 

I was not really sure what to expect from this book, but it was actually one that keep me interested. Here is the Goodreads synopsis:

What if everything you know about the worst night of your life turns out not to be true?

Nine years ago, with the world’s eyes on her, Charlie Colbert fled. The press and the police called Charlie a “witness” to the nightmarish events at her elite graduate school on Christmas Eve—events known to the public as “Scarlet Christmas”—though Charlie knows she was much more than that.

Now, Charlie has meticulously rebuilt her life: She’s the editor-in-chief of a major magazine, engaged to the golden child of the publishing industry, and hell-bent on never, ever letting her guard down again. But when a buzzy film made by one of Charlie’s former classmates threatens to shatter everything she’s worked for, Charlie realizes how much she’s changed in nine years. Now, she’s not going to let anything—not even the people she once loved most—get in her way.

Charlie made for an interesting character. She seems to be a pillar at this magazine, however, as the plot gets going toy see how frail she is. There is anxiousness, nervousness and overall fear that she deals with. She is obviously dealing with some PTSD. That paranoia is what really drives the story and peaks your interest as to what happened that night.

Not the best I have read this year, but a good one none the less.

3 out of 5 stars
