I love Sophie Hannah but I have to say that her new novel "No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done" is seriously one of the most bonkers and chaotic books I’ve read in a while (in a good way). It's wild, messy but weirdly addictive.
The Lambert family are completely unhinged, and the way their story unravels is like watching a slow motion car crash: you know it’s going to get worse, but you just can’t stop turning the pages. The drama is intense, and some of the twists genuinely surprised me.
That said, a few parts definitely had me confused and sometimes raising an eyebrow. Some of the drama felt a bit too over the top. There were a few occasions where I found myself thinking, “Would anyone really do that?”
However, even with the occasional eye roll and furrowed brow, I found myself hooked. The writing is sharp, the characters are a mess in the best way. So if you like dark, dysfunctional family stories with a lot of bite, this one’s totally worth your time.
