Kiss, Marry, Kill

Kiss, Marry, Kill is smart, funny, surprising, and genuinely moving. It takes a wildly fun premise and turns it into something much richer: a sharp, heartfelt story about friendship, ambition, love, regret, and the strange paths our lives might have taken. The characters feel real, the dialogue crackles, and the emotional payoff sneaks up on you in the best possible way. If you want something infinitely readable and thought-provoking this is it.This is a book that should make everyone's list. I can’t wait for more readers to discover this gem.

OMGGGGGG this book was ABSOLUTELY INSANE.It had romance, friendship, scifi, relateable characters, mystery, business politics, and CHAOS.The book is told through three perspectives that are a group of best friends and business partners. I love that the author went into the dynamic of three best friends because honestly two friends in a group of three are always going to be closer and the third member will kinda be on her own. I loved how the author handled this dynamic and went into what needs to be done in order for that to work. I also loved the relationship struggles that this author examined through the characters and it felt so relatable and addicting to read.Overall, what an amazing read. I loved it.

If all of Laurie Gold’s books are anything like this one, I may have accidentally discovered a new auto-buy author. The amount of layering packed into this story genuinely blew my mind. It felt like someone took a lasagna, threw in hedge maze energy, added multiverse chaos, and somehow made it all work together perfectly. I kept finding myself wondering how this story even existed inside someone’s head before it made it onto paper because the complexity behind what was happening felt massive. There are so many moving pieces, so many threads being pulled at once, and somehow none of it collapses under its own weight.Between multiple POVs, multiple timelines, and constant jumps backward and forward, this absolutely should have confused me more than it did. Sometimes we’re jumping back years, sometimes hours, sometimes days, and there’s almost no linear path to follow—but somehow it all clicks together by the end. Reading this felt like staring at one of those conspiracy theory boards covered in sticky notes and colored string trying to connect everything together. Somehow, against all odds, every connection eventually made sense. I inhaled this book in a single day because once I started, there was absolutely no chance I was putting it down.

Kiss, Marry, Kill had such a unique premise that I was instantly hooked. Three best friends and founders of a successful wellness app wake up in an alternate reality after jokingly playing a version of “kiss, marry, kill,” and suddenly the choices they made have become real.The alternating perspectives kept the story moving quickly, and I really enjoyed seeing how different Aubrey, Ilena, and Mallory were while still being deeply connected through friendship and ambition. Each woman brought something different emotionally, whether it was heartbreak, marriage struggles, or reckless decision-making.This book definitely had me constantly wondering what was going to happen next, and I flew through it because of that. The mix of friendship drama, romance, ambition, and suspense worked really well together.My only small issue was that the ending left me wanting a little more closure. Even so, this was an entertaining and engaging read with a very clever concept.

Finished this book in a week. Fast paced with lots of interesting twists and turns-three strong, successful women, business partners and best friends, grappling with how their choices shape their realities, and what can happen when different versions of those realities collide.
