Trust Me, You'll Like It
Whenever my best friend shoves a book at me and tells me nothing about it except "trust me, you'll like it", it's going to be a banger. Nighbitch was on the list last year and damn it all, she did it again. The tale of the disillusioned mother and housewife losing herself in the resentment over her lost career, her lost body, her lost life is provocative and written in such cathartic, comedic anger it's hard to stop grinning while reading. The entire thing was an utter delight from start to finish. There isn't a single boring chapter in this book. I think for most readers (and let's be honest, mostly female readers) this novel grips you by the throat and reminds you where your teeth are. Not to get too prosaic. It's nearly impossible to offer a plot summary that doesn't also involve an interpretation on some level, which is in itself the highest compliment: that the book defies easy, simple summary, neatly packaged and filed away. You have to read this one, it'll never be more fun to be a little seething with rage.
