Review: This Story Might Save Your Life by Tiffany Crum

This Story Might Save Your Life by Tiffany Crum | Rating: 4 Stars

This Story Might Save Your Life by Tiffany Crum is an excellent debut! The book follows two timelines - We follow Benny as he discovers his best friend Joy and her husband Xander are missing while Joy gives us the history of their friendship through memoir chapters. I liked the friendship between Benny and Joy, and my heart ached for them at all the almost more moments that they had throughout. I enjoyed the writing and the twists. I was never able to guess what was going on and just when I thought things were ending, another twist was thrown out which kept me on my toes. I will say that one of the reveals was very anticlimactic, but it did win points for being something that I never would have guessed. I look forward to reading whatever this author publishes in the future.

Synopsis:
Benny Abbott and Joy Moore host one of the most beloved podcasts in the world. Each week, they delight listeners with a different “against all odds” survival story, gleefully finding the weird, life-affirming humor in near-death experiences. Since their first episode on Joy’s experience with severe narcolepsy, they’ve been the best friends everyone wants to befriend—and thanks to the meticulous management of Joy’s husband, Xander, they’ve built a lucrative empire.

The problem is, their next survival story may be their own. When Benny arrives at Joy and Xander’s one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house. The one clue shedding light on the couple’s disappearance is the incomplete, previously unseen first draft of Joy’s memoir. Benny will stop at nothing to find them, even as the police zero in on him as their prime suspect.

Millions of devoted listeners think they know the “real” Benny and Joy. But as the hours tick by, and the odds seem increasingly stacked against Joy and Xander being found alive, not even the most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets their favorite famous BFFs have hidden from the world—and from each other.
