A review by murph_reads
The Last Housewife by Ashley Winstead

dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Not for the faint of heart. Everything you don’t want to be possible exists in this story, but it shines a light on how deeply rooted misogyny and sexism are in our culture. Unfortunately, looking at current events proves that while this is technically a work of fiction, there’s enough evil in the world to make it wholly believable.
