Loved this book! If you are looking for once happy marriage has fallen apart, wife finds path to rekindle true love, and feel all the feelings, this is not it.

Eliza, a concert pianist-stay at home mom, and Richard, and up and coming playwright, have not been on the same page for a long time, and Eliza is finally doing something about it. Her therapist has a unique twist on marriage therapy: it only involves Eliza. As Eliza commits to the unique prescribed therapy, she crosses more lines than she intends to until she wonders if she is saving or sinking her marriage.

I couldn't put this book down. It's full of truth about marriage with plenty of dark humor and had me cheering for Eliza and her self-realization ALL the way through.

This book was juicy, full of dark humor, and just the right amount of unhinged. Eliza’s slow-burn spiral into revenge had me hooked, and I loved the mix of sharp wit, domestic drama, and chaotic therapy sessions. It’s giving “momfluencer meets Gone Girl” and I was here for it.

Flora Montgomery absolutely nailed the narration. Her delivery brought Eliza’s sarcasm, unraveling sanity, and emotional highs and lows to life. Some parts felt a little rushed, but overall? A wild, binge-worthy ride from start to finish.

Eliza Sheridan has uprooted her family to a new country for her husband’s work (a playwright) with the promise things will get better with this move. It is not long before she discovers it is going to get much worse.

After receiving scandalous photos of her husband she receives an anonymous referral to a marriage counselor- things quickly take a weird turn.

This novel has twists and turns and dark humor - never quite sure what will happen next - quite different from my reads but enjoyed every minute of this book!

Thank you to NetGalley for an early review of the book

First and foremost, thank you to the publisher and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I loved this story and it was definitely worth the read! The narrator did an amazing job bringing this story to life!

What a fun & refreshing story! I was worried that the "naive wife and cheating husband" premise in the description would be boring - it's a pairing that we've seen time and time again - but this book surprised me at so many turns. At times, Eliza could be annoying with her timidness and insecurities, but it wouldn't be the same story if she weren't that way.

I love a story with a good plot twist, and there was no shortage of them here. Right up until the very end, this story had me second-guessing myself on who did what.

5 STARS! I will definitely be recommending to friends!

Interesting twists and turns and a lot of laughing out loud. I probably shouldn't admit to liking this book, but I did!

Let me just say—what a debut! Caroline Madden came in swinging with The Marriage Vendetta, and I was hooked from page one. This book is funny, edgy, and twisted in all the best ways.

Told in first person (which made it feel so intimate and immersive), this domestic drama delivers on every level:
🎭 Misunderstandings, gaslighting, finger-pointing
🎶 A cheating scandal with a twist
🎒 Snooty school moms and simmering secrets
💥 One very unorthodox therapist you won’t forget

The plot? Vivid, sharp, and compulsively readable. I genuinely couldn’t put it down—it’s the kind of story that has you whispering “just one more chapter” at 1AM. It was wild, it was emotional, and it was so smartly written.

And the narration? Flora Montgomery absolutely nailed it. Her performance brought every twist, every emotional beat, and every chilling moment to life. She was the character—flawed, fiery, and unforgettable.

Empowering, juicy, and delightfully messed up in the best way, The Marriage Vendetta is a total must-read for fans of smart, suspenseful domestic drama with a darkly comic edge.

This book was not what I expected although I did enjoy it quite a bit. It was under the humor category so I thought it would be a madcap story of a woman and her therapist teaming up to get back at a cheating husband. However, this was more about a woman who has been gaslight for a majority of her life by almost everyone to the point she cannot even trust her own thoughts. Eliza left her father's control to be taken under the control of Richard who held things over her head their entire marriage to manipulate her. The therapist was a piece of the story but actually not a lot - she wanted Eliza to see Richard for who he was but I am not sure the therapist helped her do so although she eventually got there - thank goodness.. I also felt like the therapist was gaslighting Eliza as well but not being truthful - ever. This story was not as light and funny as I expected but it was a page turner. and I would like to read more from this author. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.
