Synopsis

Ophelia, a professor of Dante, is stricken when she discovers that her husband Andy has been cheating on her with a winsome colleague. What follows is Ophelia' s figurative descent into hell as she obsessively tracks her subjects, performs surveillance in her beat-up Volvo, and moves into the property next door to Amber' s, which has gone into foreclosure. She spies on the lovers, growing more and more estranged from reality. Andy' s betrayal reawakens the earlier trauma of abandonment by her mother at the age of eight. When Andy and Amber become engaged, Ophelia snaps. The story is a jailhouse confessional, a dark comedy, an oeuvre of women' s rage, a suspenseful revenge fantasy, and a moving portrait of one woman' s psychological breakdown.

At first, I was very much not sure about this one. The way that our MC speaks is kind of off-putting. Ophelia is…a lot. But, oh boy, that ‘lot’ turns into one entertaining hot mess! The author brings us the ultimate in unreliable narrators and an intense story that ratchets up into absolute insanity.......more

Thank you to NetGalley., the publisher and the author for this eARC. This cover drew me in, wanting to know the whole story of this Amber. The narrator speaks in a certain way that works for this kind of book and the unreliable narrator makes you want to keep turning the pages. Did Ophelia cheat on her......more
