Dear Anna by Katie Blanchard
5.0

I have a confession. I’ve been a terrible mother the last 48 hours because I COULD NOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS AUDIOBOOK!

Man, do I love a good revenge story. Add in a possible sociopath for a narrator and I’m hooked.

I finished this alarmingly fast and was sad when it ended. I look forward to checking out other works by this author in the future.

Spoiler ahead! Do not continue if you haven’t read!
My one big question was about Medeia’s new friend Jane. Was she a real person or was she a figment of Medeia’s imagination the entire time? Reminded me of Tyler Durden in Fight Club. She popped up at exactly the moment Medeia’s needed a friend in her life. It just so happens she shares Medeia’s warped sense of morality. Jane had a “problem” (her husband) and she solved it, much like Medeia planned to do. Just seems way too coincidental. Plus, no one ever spoke to Jane except Medeia. Even the part when she dressed up like a waitress had me thinking it was a nod to Tyler Durden. How do you just slip in a random waitress when you hire a catering company?! I was surprised when the big “reveal” never came at the end that Medeia had created Jane in her mind to give her the confidence to go through with her plan!

Either way, this was an excellent book and I highly recommend it! 5 Stars!
