whimsyandwitt 's review for:

The Undoing of Violet Claybourne by Emily Critchley

5.0

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is my kind of historical fiction. This was an addictive read. This was full of an incredibly unlikable bunch of young women. Yet, I needed to know what was happening and what was going to happen. Critchley set up quite the psychological thriller; simultaneously creating doubt and hope throughout. The gaslighting was unreal. Such a satisfying, grim ending.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the eARC!
