Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House | Ballantine for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by a favorite, Joy Fielding. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Linda Davidson's life is not going well. She's still reeling from her husband's death and her best friend's dementia diagnosis and move into a care facility. Her daughter, Kleo, and her husband, Mick, have moved in with Linda, but their constant fighting just causes more stress. Linda goes to visit her friend at the care facility and meets Jenny Cooper, a 92-year-old patient. She tells Linda her secret - she kills people. Is it her dementia talking or is it true?
I have been a huge fan of Fielding's books for decades and loved this one. It's filled with sharp, dark humor and characters that you will love and those you will love to hate. The story plays out in short chapters that keep you reading just one more to find out if you are dealing with unreliable narrators or not. It's got tough themes of abuse and dementia, but it's also a look into aging well and moving on after grief. I loved spending time with Linda and Jenny - this is a must read!
