Straight away, I was completely hooked when it came to this story.
There's some great dark humour and you find yourself rooting for Kitty and simultaneously not wanting to put this down, as even though you can imagine that the next person on her hit list will be a horrible person who deserves everything that they get, you don't know exactly how everything will play out.
Kitty also felt like a real character and someone that you could see on the likes of Made In Chelsea (and seeing that this inspired Katy Brent made obvious sense). I loved every little description of her luxurious life, from her designer homeware, even down to the exact shade of Charlotte Tilbury lipstick used at the end.
I was a little bit concerned that once we found out who Kitty's stalker was and what started to transpire there, that it was going to ruin what had been such a great book. But thankfully everything is resolved in a very satisfying way. Even if I did think that Charlie surely couldn't have just been a nice guy all along.
One part of the book, Tor's time in Greece was maybe glossed over a bit, given how traumatic this must have been. But seeing Kitty get revenge, there and right throughout the book, meant that I couldn't put this down.
I really did devour this book in two sittings.
If you enjoyed How To Kill Your Family, I've got a feeling that you will really enjoy this.
And I will definitely be looking out for what Katy Brent does next.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
