Happy publication day to our absolute favourite Bella! We’re so excited about the huge success of this amazing book; here’s a little review from Jess to convince you to grab your copy today!
So here’s a sentence I never thought I’d say: my favourite book of the year is about a woman who kills her family and I want to be her best friend. There. I said it!!! So glad that’s off my chest haha, I know you’ll all feel the same way once you’ve read it 😂
Grace Bernard is languishing in prison for a murder she didn’t commit, but she’s taking the time to tell us about the murders she most definitely did, seeking vengeance on her father’s family who refused to acknowledge her and her mother. Grace is super smart, full of wit and caustic humour so the murders are executed to absolute perfection and you’re rooting for her every step of the way! The most perfect anti-heroine, which was so fun to read because let’s face it, male anti-hero tropes are boring and done with.
Woven firmly into the book is some insanely accurate bullseye perfect commentary on society today, with each setting from Marbella to the marshlands being perfect for observations on the characters and cliches that inhabit them. Bella completely exposes the clueless super-rich tax avoiders and trust fund babies, all whilst delivering a novel that is hilarious, perfectly written, on message and so so hard to put down. It’s a riot from start to finish, and the twists of the last chapters are the icing on the cake. Best book I’ve read this year! Thank you Bella for such a gem 💎💖
