This woman and her husband need to be kept AWAY from any children and put in a padlocked room away from society. GOOD GOD. I loved reading about her neuroses and how the author came back to certain points to make everything clear. It’s crazy how this woman is living in her own personal hell in the name of love. I personally loved the twist ending, I don’t care what that says about my taste.

5.0

this novel tested just how far my “i support women’s wrongs” extends. 

it was a strong descent into the madness of a truly obsessed and calculated woman and how she views her marriage, truly unlike anything i’ve ever read before. like a clementine, her taste for revenge was best described as sour, not seasonal, and was always neatly pre-packaged. and in the end, all i could say was they deserved one another.

(thank you for the recommendation Masego, it was definitely very “Gone Girl” meets “YOU” vibes x)

Holy shit. I had no idea where this was going, and could hardly put the book down. Darkly humorous and very French.
