'THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!... I didn't see the final twists coming at all... I was literally up until 3 a.m. getting it finished and don't regret a second. It's impossible to put down!' NetGalley review, 5 stars

The last man I dated... ended up dead.

Jen is a normal, single woman living in a big city. By day, she's a receptionist and by night, she goes on dates. Lots of dates. Because Jen knows if she is going to find true love, it's a numbers game.

All of Jen's dates end with the same crushing sense of disappointment and she finds herself silently uttering those five familiar words: 'It's not me, it's you.'

But now it seems Jen is more than just unlucky in love. The police have knocked on her door with some questions for her.

The last five people she went on dates with have been murdered. And Jen is their prime suspect.

As she fights desperately to prove her innocence, she must ask herself, who would have a motive to kill those five people? And if the only thing connecting them is her, will she be next?

An absolutely gripping and addictive psychological thriller with a killer twist you won't see coming. Fans of K.L Slater, Sue Watson and Netflix's You will be totally hooked from the first page until the final, breath-taking conclusion.

Readers are gripped by It's Not Me It's You:

Charlotte grew up in Middlesbrough, before migrating to London for a more tropical climate, and to work as a terrorism insurance broker. When not telling anyone who will listen how warm it is, or the correct way to pronounce ‘bath’, she enjoys zhuzhing up the more mundane aspects of being a twenty-something-year-old by putting a fictitious, killer spin on them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chaotic Fun.
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022
"Discover the hottest thriller of the summer perfect for fans of You."

That was part of the blurb for this one. Which is perfect because I loved "You" and who doesn't want to discover the hottest thriller of the summer? Sign me up! This is a thriller written by a debut author: Charlotte Bigland and I dug right in.

In this one we have Jen Beeny who, having a turbulent past, has moved to London and taken a crappy job as a receptionist. While building her life back she goes on date after date. Until everyone of her dates either winds up dead or missing. So as the tagline of the books says, "Is she a serial dater or serial killer?" The police, and crime buffs soon zero in on her and her connection to all the victims.

What rocks: The main character: Jen Beeny. She is totally badass and her snarky thoughts are on full display. While she is going on all her dates the man (or woman) would be talking to her and her thoughts would literally be, "FML, does this guy really think he's serious?" Totally hilarious.

Also Bigland nails life in London. The dialogue and locations were spot on. You really had a sense of what it's like to live in London. Plus the pace and length of this booky is perfect. Great flow and my PDF file had it around 250 pages which is fantastic. Who likes to read a brick where you forget what happened in the beginning by the time you get to the end? Hint: NOBODY! Ok, maybe just me.

What sucks: So it's date after date and while entertaining they do get somewhat repetitive but that may be just me as well. Plus the ending....... Ok, I have very mixed feelings about it. It was good, and I didn't predict what happened but sometimes you read a book and just want the author, "To just go there!" Just do it and go full shock and awe and blow this thing out of the water. She didn't really do that. It was still good.

So is this the hottest book of the summer? It's not the coldest one and you will be entertained by Jen Beeny. I say go for it!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

While this book had some interesting parts, it was somewhat convoluted in the plot.the characters, especially the main girl, were just never developed enough. It did not meet up to the above blurb about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the page turner I expected
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023
It was decent thriller. There were several spelling grammatical errors. Not sure if it's b/c it takes place in London so the dialect is different? Either way, story line was decent, but really slow mostly throughout the book until the end. Did not see the end coming though

Lots of stupid choices by the characters, half heartedly justified, and some aggressive stereotypes of people with troubles, but the story itself is ok.

None of the characters were really likable. Jen wasn't very bright, and it was hard reading a lot of times because I just wanted to shake some sense into her. The ending didn't satisfy me and was a letdown, for me personally.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, it was a pleasant read and a good debut novel.
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022
It's Not Me, It's You by Charlotte Bigland is the author's debut novel. The story is about Jen Beeny, who leaves her turbulent past behind and starts living a new life. But her dates start to go missing, and the internet sleuths and the police are looking at Jen as the culprit. Jen is a likable character and is funny at times.

Positive: I liked how London came alive in the book and made you feel as if you were right there. The author did an excellent job of showing London life. That is a plus for the author's writing and the story.

Negatives: I felt there were too many unnecessary descriptions and inner musings that distracted me from the heart of the story and took me away from getting involved in the plot and characters at times. The ending also fell a bit flat and was not the "Oh, my goodness" kind of moment.

Overall, it was a pleasant read and a good debut novel. I would check out other books by this author.

I am rounding this 3.5 to a 4 rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put this book down once you start!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2022

Constant battle whether I should go to bed or read just one more chapter - one of those books you simply cannot put down once you start.

Vivid characters with distinctive personalities where you can imagine their gestures while talking and taste of clothing etc as you follow Jen Beeny’s conversation (and observation) with them – no one would hate to imagine hot men in nice and fitted suits!

Brilliantly capturing the fun, opportunistic and vibrant lifestyle in the city of London, the book also exposes the brutal truth of people feeling lonely and lost in a huge city: the constant drinking to find a sense of belonging while feeling numb and hook-ups to feel connected with a stranger – an experience most can relate to.

The most engaging bit is each chapter brings in more unsolved mystery to Jen Beeny’s story yet also exposes some facts in tiny crumbs – the only way to find the answers is to carry on reading!

And of course, the story ended on a high with a twist and leaving you wondering ‘but I’m SURE I didn’t miss any important hints’.

Unlike most books where some sub-lines are never explained, the author made sure to give a close to each sub-character and line – very satisfying to have a book where you feel complete as all your questions are answered and not left hanging.

Plus, the story ended in a heartwarming way.

Initially I found it really difficult to read through the pages since the book is a slow burn. However it picked up speed and it's very thrilling. I was able to guess the ending more or less though.

The majority of the book is about the main character's dating life which isn't very thrilling but more on the drama/comedy side. But the last couple of chapters get interesting and where it's difficult to put the book down.
