Short AF Book Review | Everyone In The Group Chat Dies | ARC Received By Netgalley


 Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Everyone In The Group Chat Dies" by L.M. Chilton. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind!)

"Kirby Cornell needs a break from everything:

- Her crumbling flat in the sleepy town of Crowhurst (famous for its award - winning sausage rolls and a second - rate serial killer from the 90s).

- Her dead - end job.

- Her sleazy landlord.

- Her slobbish housemates.

- And, most of all, the terrible thing they all did.

Luckily, that hasn't caught up with her just yet. Until a new message on their group chat pops.

Everyone in this group chat will die.

It's the first text her ex - flatmate and social - media sleuth Esme has sent for ages, but that's not the really weird thing.

The really weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago...

Don't miss the new laugh - out - loud thriller from L.M. Chilton, Everyone In The Group Chat Dies - A murder mystery that fuses the flatmate comedy of Friends with the serial - killer thrills of I Know What You Did Last Summer."

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.

So the reason I wanted to read this is genuinely because the synopsis sounded so interesting and funny so I applied for it. Friends, I'm so grateful I got to read this book before it was out. First off, this book was such a funny read (in the moments that it wasn't about what was happening to our main character). I have never read a book which genuinely felt like I was part of the inside jokes and spent most of the time giggling whilst reading. There were so many references you could only get from living in a bit of a "rougher" neighbourhood in England and I loved every moment of it. This book had me constantly wanting more and has been the first book in a while that I actually got through in 3 days because I could just not put it down. The chapters were short and really flowed well so this was such an easy read. I loved switching between the past (1 year before) and the present and it made it so much easier to get to know each and every character and fall in love with them. I was not expecting any of the twists that came within the story and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants a good comedic thriller and I will definitely be picking up a physical copy of this book when it comes out, as well as looking up L.M. Chilton's other books when I get the chance to!

I gave this book a 5/5 star rating on Goodreads!

This book comes out 13th March 2025!
