The Sunday Girl by Pip Drysdale
3.0

I was given a copy by NetGalley for an honest review so cheers for that NetGalley.

The Sunday Girl is a thriller great for readers starting out in the genre. If you have yet to read others I do suggest picking it up.
The premise is what intrigued me, a woman consulting The Art of War to get back at her ex boyfriend. I thought it was such a clever concept! Unfortunately it was not executed well.

Taylor was so silly! I actually rolled my eyes at some scenes because I knew what was going to happen because she could not hide her tracks. She also can not take a hint! Like how obvious does someone need to be until she understands? I am not sure if the reader was to know but it was pretty blunt.

The end did feel rushed but in all honesty I did stay up late to finish the last 100 pages because I needed to know how it finished. I am not 100% satisfied with the ending but I can not wait to read more of the authors work. It was a great debut and I hope to see her writing grow in this genre.
