Making Friends Can Be Murder
by Kathleen West
this book was such a blast to read! (6/26/2025)
Seriously, the concept is super original, and the way each Sarah had her own distinct personality and age made the whole thing feel dynamic and engaging. It’s honestly impressive how the author managed to make a murder-filled plot feel this fun.
I also really liked how the story was told—not just through regular narration, but also using video transcripts and text messages. It gave the whole thing a fresh, modern vibe that actually worked really well with the story. Not a lot of writers can pull that off smoothly, but West totally nailed it.
And okay, I’ll admit it… I even got a little too invested in the romance. ?? At first I was like, “Wait, which Sarah is this again?” but instead of being frustrating, that confusion kept me curious and flipping pages way past bedtime.
All in all, this book was such a pleasant surprise. It was clever, hilarious, and honestly pretty addicting. I’m 100 checking out more of West’s work after this!
