THE UNFORTUNATE DECISIONS OF DAHLIA MOSS by Max Wirestone

Books, Books, and More Books for October:



My review of THE UNFORTUNATE DECISIONS OF DAHLIA MOSS:

First the blurb:

Meet Dahlia Moss, the reigning queen of unfortunate decision-making in the St. Louis area. Unemployed, broke, and on her last bowl of ramen, she's not living her best life. But that's all about to change.

Before Dahlia can make her life any messier on her own, she's offered a job. A job that she's woefully under-qualified for. A job that will lead her to a murder, an MMORPG, and possibly a fella (or two?).

Turns out unfortunate decisions abound, and she's just the girl to deal with them.

And from Amazon:

For fans of The Guild, New Girl, Scott Pilgrim, Big Bang Theory, Veronica Mars, or anyone who has ever geeked out about something.

The odds of Dahlia successfully navigating adulthood are 3,720 to 1. But never tell her the odds.

What I thought:

The voice in this is delightful. I know some don't like when the narrator addresses the reader directly, and there is a little bit of that here, but I enjoyed it immensely. The story is well-plotted and the pacing is quick. The characters are fully fleshed and fun. This book hooked me with the voice from the first page and I had a hard time putting it down. I definitely recommend this book and am adding this author to my must-read list.

*I received an eARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review and I honestly loved it.

I give THE UNFORTUNATE DECISIONS OF DAHLIA MOSS five glowing stars ***** and hope you pick it up when it comes out on October 20th.

Preorder it at Amazon or go to Goodreads for more links and reviews. And then let me know what you think. I love comments, so drop me a comment and tell me what you're reading or tell me what I should be reading.
