No offense to the author, but I would have never picked this book up on my own. I'm glad he reached out to me though because I found the concept intriguing.
Featuring ~ single 1st person POV, start up company, tech mystery, murder
Dan is our main narrator as he works alongside Flick, Kerry, Abhi, and with founders John & Peter. Former.ly is an online memorial site that's created while you are still alive. You essentially keep a journal and upon your death your page goes life for all of your mourners to read.
I thought the author did a great job of executing a behind the scenes look at what it takes to create and maintain a website ~ programming, coding, marketing, etc. I was pooped just reading about the hours they put into their jobs. They do everything together ~ work, eat, drink and even live in the same house. That's a lot of togetherness.
When people tied to the company start turning up dead, Dan starts to worry something sinister is going on and begins his own investigation. Will he find out who is behind the mysterious deaths or will he be next?
I loved Dan's reasoning to stay in a relationship ~ "the rent's cheaper when you split it with someone else."
