Cross Your Heart and Hope He Dies by Jenny Elder Moke (NetGalley ARC, pub 1/20) ⭐⭐ I read a teaser in a Minotaur samplers and was intrigued enough to request the full book when it became available. This book had sections that made me enjoy it, but also a lot of cringe moment. I flat out disliked the main character which is a big challenge, and it felt very slow going for much of the book - it was much longer than it needed to be. There was also an interlude where it was trying to be a romance and I just found that unnecessary. By the end I couldn't understand what anyone saw in the MC and why they stood by her, and her growth was minimal and the unraveling of the mystery was just not that satisfying. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
