A Good Person - Kirsten King

I could not put it down. --Marcy Dermansky, author of Hot Air nSharp, hilarious, and painfully relatable. --Monika Kim, author of The Eyes Are the Best Part n nGone Girl meets Big Swiss in this electric, binge-of-a-debut about a millennial antihero who seeks revenge on her ex-situationship with a hex, only for him to actually, literally die.

n nLillian and Henry have been enjoying each other's company, especially in bed. Even though Lillian's best friend calls it situationship, Lillian is determined to lock Henry down--and she has a plan. She'll be the best, most accommodating version of herself until he falls in love with her.

But when Henry blindsides Lillian with a breakup, Lillian exacts revenge by performing a drunken hex on him. n nLillian expects Henry to come crawling back to her. What she doesn't quite anticipate is becoming a prime suspect in his murder case when he's found dead.

As Lillian grapples with the loss of her sort-of-boyfriend, she's hit with another reckoning: That Henry had a long-term girlfriend he also left behind. n nDesperate to control the narrative, clear her name, and assume her rightful place as Henry's mourning girlfriend, Lillian's pursuit of the truth will throw her into a dangerous tailspin. A deliciously addictive novel that explores our darkest, most human impulses, A Good Person heralds Kirsten King as a striking new voice in the canon of celebrated fiction.n
