Books with unreliable narrators are always fun, by which i mean i wanted to throw it across the room.
It was very well written, all the pieces fall into place neatly, making your stomach drop. I have a hard time with books where the villain wins and the emotions it provoked goes it show how invested i was in the story.
The themes of obsessive female friendships was fun to explore. It had an interesting snapshot of colonialism at this time, her husbands sucks ass, creepy pedo. Cant say i blame her for getting rid of him, just found her actions thereafter cruel.
It was sad but i guess realistic in showing the gaslighting that thrives when people want to get rid of women with mental illnesses and want to label them a mad woman. She truly had no chance poor girl.
The writing was gripping and plot was well executed!
