This book was such a wild ride! I was absolutely raging 99% of the time just wishing the bad eggs got their slice of karma.. but really who was the bad one... the mahoosive plot twists definitely sent my thoughts haywire. 

With multiple perspectives we got both sides of the story and I definitely switched up who to root for but in the end I just didn't know. 

The husband.. Hugh.. I immediately disliked him, the way he nicknamed his wife just gave me the ick and annoyed me to be honest.. One nickname I can get on board with it feels cutsey... several just felt bizzare. 

It's difficult to go too much into the storyline as it would give the penultimate ending away so I'll keep it simple.. it's twisty, bitchy, fast-paced and pretty dark so I really enjoyed it. 

Thank you to Tandem Collective for having me on the buddy read and to Thomas and Mercer for a copy of the book.

Tiny Daggers is the ultimate summer thriller—sharp, bitchy, and absolutely addictive. Set in the sticky heat and social minefield of elite Miami suburbia, it follows two women—both named Holly—whose shared history begins to unravel everything they've built.

Holly Jones seems to have it all: the perfect house, stylish friends, and a carefully curated life far from her past in England. But when Holly Wild—her former classmate and the last person she ever expected to see—shows up in her social circle, it doesn’t take long for paranoia to set in. Is this just a coincidence… or the start of something far more calculated?

This is a domestic thriller that thrives on tension and ego. No one is likable here—but they are all deeply compelling. Watching these women orbit each other with thinly veiled hostility made for some of the most entertaining reading I’ve done in a while. The pace is tight, the chapters short (those “tiny daggers”!), and the metaphor of the mosquito—subtle but ever-present—was such a smart touch.

It’s also surprisingly relatable in moments. As someone who grew up in the '90s, the references to Just Seventeen, blue WKDs, and teen-girl insecurity hit hard. Underneath the designer labels and petty jabs, this book explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the way old wounds resurface no matter how far you run.

Enraging? Yes. Entertaining? Completely.
Go in blind and brace yourself—this one bites.
