2.21.2026 - A Sociopath's Guide to a Successful Marriage

 A Sociopath's Guide to a Successful Marriage by M.K. Oliver

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful debut novel by MK Oliver.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

Lalla Rook has a lot on her plate.  She needs to make sure her husband makes partner so they can afford her dream house and get her daughter into a prestigious school.  Then there's the fact that there's a dead body in her living room and friends are arriving for her son's birthday party.  And her mother-in-law!  Just what is a girl to do?

Bravo, Mr. Oliver, on a fabulous debut - I'm very anxious to see just what your devious mind will come up with next!  I love a snarky, dark, twisted female main character and Lalla was that in spades.  Of course she's unlikable but you'll be rooting her on throughout every one of her misadventures - and there are many.  The dark humor was pitch perfect and had me laughing out loud at totally inappropriate things - just so much fun!  If you're like me and love this kind of humor, this is an absolute must read!
