Many thanks to NetGalley and Scribner for gifting me a digital copy of the latest novel by Joanna Cannon - 5 stars!
Linda lives a quiet life, working at a charity shop, going home to boring husband, Terry. But she wishes for the kind of life she glimpses in the catalogs that arrive in the mail addressed to the former owner, Rebecca. Linda becomes quite obsessed with Rebecca and the life she lives. Meanwhile, Terry starts acting odd - coming home late, being mysterious, right when girls go missing in the neighborhood.
Wow - this book was so good! Told in the first person perspective of Linda, both in the past and in the present when she is in a mental health facility, you will laugh at the dark humor and feel for Linda as she copes with her past and tries to make a better life for herself. Go into this one as blind as possible because it will be worth it!
