I was here for the "Support women's wrongs", alas, this was not it.

It's a toxic relationship on both sides. Also, for all her insistence that she loves her husband, she has no problem cheating. Also, that epilogue? No thank you.

I enjoyed the book, but I felt the ending was a bit contrived.

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)

This book was exhausting because the main character is quite literally so obsessed with her husband that it has the tendency to make the reader feel sick. She puts him over everything, even their children. I thought it was so interesting reading her perspective and I simultaneously felt empathy for her and blind rage, which I think is a mark of good characterization. There's also a little surprise that took me OUT. But I can't really talk about that.
