Couldn't put this one down and couldn't read it fast enough! It's actually a really tough book to review without giving away the plot - which is twistier than a curly-wurly - and I don't want to spoil it so I'm going to keep this vague...
I adored Sarah Bonner's debut - Her Perfect Twin - so I was really looking forward to see what else she can do and I wasn't disappointed. This is a revenge story, but who is after revenge on who? You'll be asking that question right up until the epilogue.
The novel is ambitious covering a time period of four years and five different POVs, but Bonner totally pulls it off. The writing is compelling and the twists just keep coming, I'm not exaggerating when I say I that. Once you've stopped reeling from one, another comes along and knocks you back down again.
There's potential for a sequel here and I really hope there is one. Totally recommend if you enjoyed Her Perfect Twin and if you like twisty, psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very last word.

I absolutely loved the author's debut novel Her Perfect Twin which was a twisty and original thriller and so had high hopes for Her Sweet Revenge, the follow up. Sadly I found this to be a disappointing read and it felt like it was written by a completely different author.
Helena and Thea are best friends who met at boarding school. In 2018 Helena is married and has a monstrous and controlling mother in law when she begins to receive anonymous notes threatening to reveal her secrets. Four years later and Thea is grieving the death of her best friend Helena and when she begins to look into the circumstances of her death the anonymous notes start to arrive.
The novel started off well and I was intrigued by the relationship between Helena, her husband Edward and her mother in law. However, increasingly the novel lost its flow, the plot became ludicrous, the various strands of the plot did not fit together and I feel that the whole thing needed editing.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.
