What a ride!!! The Mother-In-Law is so deliciously frustrating! It was so tense, multiple times I gasped or guffawed out loud and my husband would have to ask me what was wrong. I listened to this in one day. Couldn’t put it down.

Content warnings:
Mild cursing, more than implied sex but not spicy.

This book is a wild roller coaster of crazy with so many twists and turns, it’s hard to keep up. Devoured in one day!

This book takes monster-in-law to a whole other level. Love that her books are typically quick listens. I thought I had predicted the twist, but I was very wrong and didn't see her level of crazy coming. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another 5-star read from Kiersten Modglin!

This is a story that can make someone who has anxiety about marriage more anxious. The story focuses on the dynamics of a married couple wherein the husband's father died thus making his mother live with him together with his wife and daughter.

Kiersten Modglin laid out the foundations of the story well. The plot twist and the big reveal were unexpected and it was delivered in a very clear way.
