I received a complimentary copy of this book for review. All opinions are my own.

This book is UNHINGED. I laughed so hard at this woman's ridiculous delusions and decisions. It's funny and dark and thoroughly enjoyable!

Update:
I was able to get the Audiobook ALC as it just came out on NetGalley and so am so glad so did! It was a really quick listen at 2x speed making it come in just at 4 hours. I completely made me adore the book way more than I did!

The narrator Clare Corbett did a fabulous job with her vocals! Her British accented voice was perfect for the character giving her the snark and edge that she needed. The parts where I got bogged down initially were not an issue at all! While I sped it up to 2x it wasn’t needed at all as she spoke at a great natural pace. I highly suggest grabbing this as an audiobook when it becomes available on July 15th as I’ll be getting my own copy so I can keep it in my Audible library! Thank you to Tantor Audio for the ALC!!

Original:
Well that wasn’t what I was expecting and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it! On one hand I was propelled to keep reading on the other hand how awful can a human being be?

I think the cover and the description of the book made me feel like the book was going to be a bit more lighthearted. And it certainly tried to bring a quirky humor and general levity to the goings on inside the FMCs head but it wasn’t fully effective as it got too “serious dark”. All that is to say is that the FMC truly does have deep seated mental illness and sociopathy.

Over all the book was well written and fast paced. There was some repetition that made it feel a bit bogged down at points but it was quick to get back on track.

But overall I was intrigued and enjoyed watching most of it unfold. I was disappointed in the ending though as it wrapped up so quickly that it felt like I was missing something.

The. lol comes out June 24th 2025 if you want to take a stab at it! I will say that I think this book would be very effective in audio format so I may check it out once published.

I am thankful to have gotten a complimentary eARC from Sourcebooks- Landmark through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.
