Killed a Man (Joking) by Beth Hyland

Okay so Megan may have killed Trevor, but it was an accident! Or it was self-defense. Or both! But now Liv, Amanda, and Katie have to decide exactly how far they’re willing to go to help their co-worker in need. Killed a Man (Joking) is a pitch-black comedy about violence, justice, and what it really means to be a ride-or-die friend.

    “ a taut and sharp look at how women survive (and help one another survive) violence, KAMJ had me going from laughing hysterically from feeling like I'd just been punched in the gut. It wastes no time in putting you in the place of these 4 women, just trying to get by. ”
