I have to start off this review by saying that The Maidens, Michaelides's previous book, didn't work for me. Because of that, I was prepared to skip this one, but was really intrigued by the premise and the fact that it was a @bookofthemonth pick, sealed the deal for me. All of the conventions that I felt like didn't work well in The Maidens work really well here. I loved the structure of the plot, which is arranged like a play as well as the unreliable narrator. Not only is the plot twisty in a really enjoyable way, but it also has sections that are darkly funny. 

I really enjoyed this one and recommend it to anyone who likes twisty thrillers with unreliable narrators.
