The Sunday Girl
by Pip Drysdale
It has been said that leaving a toxic relationship is one of the most difficult things a person in such a situation will ever do, The amount of willpower and self-control if takes to leave someone who has been manipulating and lying to you ... and not return to the relationship ... is overwhelming. In Pip Drysdale's debut novel The Sunday Girl, Taylor Bishop finds herself trying to leave an all-consuming, poisonous relationship only to find herself being pulled back to it in more ways than one.
Taylor has left her charismatic, yet insidious, boyfriend Angus. This time for good - she has no intention of ever going back. In fact, all she wants is revenge on the liar and cheater. After consulting a copy of The Art of War, Taylor devises a plan to get back at her ex, but soon discovers that vengeance is not child's play. Will her nefarious deeds go unpunished, or will she have to pay for her acts of retribution against the man who shattered her heart into a million pieces? After all, he deserved everything he had coming to him ...
Going into The Sunday Girl, I expected it to be a wild thrill ride focused primarily on revenge, similar to Camilla Lackberg's The Golden Cage. Instead I found myself pleasantly surprised to learn that this novel holds much more depth and insight than a revenge fantasy exacted. Drysdale has written the primer on toxic relationships! She describes emotional abuse at the hands of a master manipulator so well, making this novel both incredibly compelling and terrifying. Angus and Taylor's relationship is bone chilling, and I was fearful for her well-being throughout this book, just hoping that she would make it out of this horrible relationship unscathed. I won't reveal the ending, but The Sunday Girl had me on the edge of my seat until the very last page.
I listened to an excellent audiobook production of this novel narrated by Anthea Greco. Greco was divine as Taylor! Her voice enveloped me in this story and made me care so much for Taylor's character. I found Greco's narration to be entirely believable and her performance to be stellar.
The Sunday Girl is recommended to anyone who has ever been in a toxic relationship, and those who love domestic thrillers.
