4.5

Laura Sims is a master at writing deeply flawed, messy, villainous and frankly bonkers women. This book is a delicious downward spiral of a truly terrible person, but initially we kind of sympathise with her due to her infertility struggles and her pretty insensitive husband. As the book progresses, it becomes clear that she is the furthest thing from a reliable narrator. 

WARNING: a cat is killed on page so if this is a deal-breaker for you, skip it.
