Julie Tudor is in fact a psychopath. The beginning was a bit slow, but after learning a a bit more about Julie, her quirks are quite interesting. She reminded me a bit of Eleanor Oliphant. I liked that the ending was wrapped up neatly, but what happened right before it seemed to end in quite abruptly. I wish that would’ve been hashed out a bit more. I loved Gareth.

This book kept me entertained. Julie will stick in my head for quite some time. 

I love a delusional book b*tch and Julie did not disappoint. Many times with these kinds of books the fmc becomes too unlikeable nuisance, but Julie, I 100% support her madness and her decisions. It did get a bit repetitive at times after the initial shock of the first few events, but I give this a solid 4 for a fun time!

📖 Just finished Julie Tudor Is Not a Psychopath and wow—what a ride!
I absolutely loved this book. The writing was super easy to follow, which made it a quick read—thankfully! I was desperate to find out what was happening next 😱📚
Julie is such a fascinating character. I really appreciated how my opinion of her evolved throughout the story. She’s been severely mistreated and bullied her whole life, and honestly? I don’t think I’d be the nicest human either after all that 💔
What really pulled me in was getting to see the contrast between what was going through her head vs. what was actually happening. That inside look gave the story so much depth 🧠🔍
Gareth was a standout for me, too—he helped me understand Julie and her motives even more. And Frank... 🙌 I adored Frank. He was kind to her, even in the end.
There was a moment where I genuinely thought she’d killed her sister 😬 but I'm glad that didn’t happen!
Overall, this was a wildly funny, totally out-of-pocket read 🤪🍷 and I’m giving it a solid 5/5 vibes score ✨🔥

if you want to be very deeply annoyed but entertained this book is for u. definitely listen to the audiobook though i worry the plots a little slow and all over the place for reading. i would also like to say i want another book from sean’s perspective and am deeply desperate to know if anyone feels the same, like that man went through a lot and maybe that’s the part of the point, that julie wouldn’t listen to his voice but me personally i would be entertained. solid listen though very thorough

Julie Tudor is Not a Psychopath is a good read. The premise is intriguing—exploring the line between eccentricity and actual psychopathy—but the execution feels just fine. The characters are somewhat engaging, and the plot moves at a steady pace, but it lacks the depth or twists that would make it truly memorable.  

If you're looking for an entertaining story with a psychological edge, this might satisfy. However, those expecting a gripping or thought-provoking thriller might find it falls a bit short. Overall, an okay read, but not one that leaves a lasting impression.
