You Owe Me a Murder Blog Tour! Review and Q&A with Eileen Cook

Title: You Owe Me a Murder Author: Eileen Cook Release Date: March 5, 2019 Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Pages: 368 Source: ARC provided by Raincoast Books Add to Goodreads | Amazon.ca | Indigo Overall: 4 STARS SUMMARY   Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying , E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. 17-year-old Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim’s stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can’t help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she’d never really do that.  But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who’s more than willing to listen to Kim’s woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along—that is, until Kim’s ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal,...

Follow Friday (9)

Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Allison Can Read. Check it out to sign up and participate, or to discover some awesome blogs and make new friends.

This week's question:
Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then "broke up" with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.

Hmmm. I'm not sure this has ever really happened to me. My love for a character usually carries through until the end. Generally, once I like a character I am pretty loyal to him or her even if they do some annoying things later on.

I've had it happen the other way several times - a character that I originally found annoying or frustrating, or that I just plain hated, ended up winning me over at some point in the story and I find myself wondering exactly what point it was when I started caring what happened to that character. An example of that might be Jaime Lannister from the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Some of you who watch the show are giving me the crazy eyes right now; I know it. But at some point in the books he becomes a more sympathetic character, though I couldn't say exactly when that is. And if I could, I wouldn't. Spoilers, and all that.

Welcome to all of the new faces, and welcome back to the old ones!
