So good, bought it on a whim and finished it in 4 days! Funny and riveting, very strange premise but definitely worth a listen. The narrator's voice was perfect too, so much sass

I had to google the ending after I finished it and it seems I'm definitely not the only one who found it disappointing. still a fun listen for the most part.

great premise, disappointing ending

How to Kill Your Family was a darkly entertaining story, starring a female lead with a deeply skewed moral compass and selfishness, yet you couldn’t help but understand and love her. Would you want her as a best friend? Definitely not, but she probably wouldn’t want you either. Overall, though, it was incredibly fun and twisty, and when it was over I wanted more

Darkly Entertaining Story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Very dark, but sharp and smart. The social commentary throughout the novel was "chef's kiss" so good! That ending though- that was kinda f**cked up. Also, Charly Clive was the perfect Grace! Overall, Bella Mackie's book is enjoyable and a ride. side note: I kept picturing Simon Artemis as Donald Trump.

Smart, dark and a little f**ked
