This was willdddd. Naomi had me shaking my head and face palming more often than not. I did like Rosemary though, and that plot twist though... 🤌

Wow! What a stunning debut from Caitlin Barasch! This book is kind of a thriller, about a writer obsessed with her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. The main character was immensely unlikeable but I was absolutely riveted, waiting to see where things would go! I definitely feel like this was unique and I haven’t read anything like it. Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for the copy.
