Description

'A zillenial Gone Girl . . . Acerbic, darkly feminine and very funny' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'Hilarious and addictive' DAILY MAIL

'A must-read . . . With tart prose that tastes like sour candy, Kirsten King's debut is a home run' MARIE CLAIRE

Lillian is having a great time with Henry: he's charming, well-educated, and exactly the kind of guy she'd like to end up with. That is, until she stays the night at his flat and they end up in a huge argument. Furious, Lillian seeks revenge on Henry by performing a drunken YouTube hex on him.

But then Henry actually ends up dead.

Desperate to control the narrative, clear her name, and assume her rightful place as Henry's mourning girlfriend, Lillian's pursuit of the truth will throw her into a dangerous tailspin, which just may just upend her life for good.
