A Sociopath's Guide to a Successful Marriage by MK Oliver

BOOK BLURB

Meet Lalla Rook. Lalla has a lot on her to-do list: help her husband make partner by flattering his masculinity, secure her dream home in Hampstead, get her daughter into private school, host her four-year-old’s birthday party, and remove the dead body from her living room.

Lalla can’t pretend she hasn’t missed the adrenaline rush that comes with transgressing. And, as a wife and mother, she’s already an expert multitasker. So disposing of a body, framing a friend, and being the world’s best homemaker should be easy to achieve.

It’s just that her husband seems distracted, her daughter faces an uncertain academic future, and then there is the unexpected intruder in her living room, a stranger she has stabbed seven times. Avoiding the law is the least of her worries—not when she has a past to keep hidden.

MY REVIEW

A woman has a lot going on with managing her home, husband, and kids. Plus, she’s killed an intruder in her home, and has to handle all that.

A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage is satirical and wickedly funny. Lalla, the protagonist, is trying to keep everything together, but things get complicated when she fears her past may not stay hidden. Recommended for readers who enjoy dark and witty novels.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
