This book started out as an extremely unhinged wild ride but kind of fizzled out by the end.  I didn't really care for
the chapters from Darius and Jolene's POV.  I would have rather heard more from Fig because girl was a loose cannon and hearing how she justified everything was entertaining.
  The very end was funny (not haha but like that's funny) when
Jolene starts writing about her experience with Fig under the pen name Tarryn.  Obviously supposed to make us think about this book as a true account.  I found it funny though because earlier on I looked up Tarryn Fisher half expecting her to be a man writing under a female pen name due to how some descriptions of women were written.  But I saw her author photos and was like wow, Jo is a self insert. But apparently that was meant to be. 


Anyway, it was a fast and entertaining read for the most part, but did have a bit of a disappointing ending.  I felt similarly about The Wives so maybe this author just isn't for me.

Wow.

I began this book thinking “Ok, this is going to be one of those ‘I want your child so I’m going to become you and in the process ruin your life and steal your baby’ books”. Halfway through Part One, I got some SINGLE WHITE FEMALE vibes.

The more I read, the more I realized that Fig was a different type of crazy lady.

Once I reached Part Two, I was unsure of everything. I don’t want to give too much away.

This book is a complete mindscrew and it’s awesome.

Truly twisted from the start but the plot never develops all the way to the marginal ending. Was hoping for more intrigue and surprises but they never came. Told from 3 different character perspectives, the "off" perspective characters personality didn't mesh well with their turn to tell and continue the story.

I was sadly underwhelmed by this. It had a lot of hype and based on Tarryn's previous books, I was expecting to be taken on a roller coaster ride of crazy but it was actually very tame for a story about a sociopath/psychopath.

"I see you getting things you don't deserve, living it up. It f_ sucks. I feel resentful because I deserve it more than you do. I could be a better you, that's what it boils down to."

That is the opener to Bad Mommy. Tarryn is one of my favorite authors. Her stories are always unique but don't be expecting a happily ever after! This is a disturbing but hard to put down book about a psychopath, a sociopath, a writer and obsession.
Fig is legit crazy. She has her loony eyes set on Mercy and is determined to become Jolene/Bad Mommy. And then there's Darius. .. in the end I'm not sure who is worse - Fig or Darius?

I want to have good things to say.... But I feel like I need to talk to a therapist after this one.

Gave it 4/5 just because the characters are so fcked up and I like it. And because my love for Tarryn is up to the heavens. But story wise, meh. I'm still waiting for something explosive but until the end, there wasn't much. Marrow is still the best TF book for me. I expected too much.
