Critic Reviews

"Funny and furious and strangely uplifting. Grace is a bitter and beguiling anti-hero with a keen eye for social analysis - even in her most grisly deeds, you never stop rooting for her." (Pandora Sykes)

"Addictive.... Grace Bernard is one of the most intriguing and bewitching protagonists I've read in years." (Emma Gannon)

"Hilarious and dark." (Elle)

Smart, dark and a little f**ked

Very dark, but sharp and smart. The social commentary throughout the novel was "chef's kiss" so good! That ending though- that was kinda f**cked up. Also, Charly Clive was the perfect Grace! Overall, Bella Mackie's book is enjoyable and a ride. side note: I kept picturing Simon Artemis as Donald Trump.

Loved it! Clever, witty, engaging

An instant hit for me. Audiobooks usually last me a week but I inhaled this over two (very busy!) days. Loved every minute. Perfect. No notes.

what did I just listen to?

So good, bought it on a whim and finished it in 4 days! Funny and riveting, very strange premise but definitely worth a listen. The narrator's voice was perfect too, so much sass

great premise, disappointing ending

I had to google the ending after I finished it and it seems I'm definitely not the only one who found it disappointing. still a fun listen for the most part.
