I really enjoyed this and raced through it. It focuses on an important topic (domestic violence) and is set in the Covid lockdown. I think it worked really well and was very funny, despite the seriousness of the topic. The friendship that formed between the women was also wonderful to see come to life throughout the story. I’d really recommend this book!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Enthralling and emotional, ‘The Best Way to Bury Your Husband’ by @ is a must read this year.
What came from startling statistics during Covid lockdowns is a dark comedy tackling issues at the forefront of domestic violence. Handled gracefully, Casale has brought to life the lives of four women intrinsically linked by violence and their humorous attempts at navigating their struggles together in a world that is against them.
Law enforcement is truly no match for a gardening club
