Taylor was in a bad relationship with Angus and everyone knew it but her. Angus dumps her and takes another woman on the holiday that he and Taylor had planned. Taylor decides to get her revenge.

In the first half of the book I found Taylor to be an annoying character who was so self-deceiving that it was unbelievable. I kept reminding myself that love, or is it dependency, can make people do crazy things. Even so her strategies at getting back at Angus were hardly clever. In fact Taylor seemed to be rather dim-witted. Nevertheless, the plot still kept me turning the pages.

The second half was much more intriguing especially when the plot took an unexpected turn. So full marks to Drysdale for that. There is nothing deep in this story despite plenty of scope to take it to another level. However, it is sufficiently well constructed to keep this reader going until the end.

When you tell a lie you must tell another to cover the first. And there will always be someone more devious or cunning than you, however clever you believe yourself to be. Taylor finds herself in the difficult position of abuse, betrayal and emotional blackmail., yet Angus seems to be one step ahead of her at each and every turn. Can she ever truly escape the clutches of someone she once loved; or at least she thought she did.

Great book. Storyline kept me reading late into the night. I just wanted Taylor to be safe from Angus. Looking forward to this authors next book.

I thought this was a really good book it took a little bit of time to get into it but when I did I couldn’t put it down . I will be looking out for more of her books

Pip Drysdale deals with domestic violence issues in this edgy pageburner with a sensitive, intelligent novel portraying one woman's struggle against abuse. This time the protagonist, Taylor Bishop applies the ancient "Art Of War" to extract her ultimate revenge on a remorseless ex-lover. It's not a recommended solution but certainly makes a good, quick read.

Loved this book and couldn't put it down. The characters were believable and the storyline kept you wondering what would happen next. Every woman has either been in a toxic relationship or knows someone who has and every woman would have dreamed of revenge and how to execute it. Consulting the Art of War and applying it to revenge was brilliant and I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. The book was well paced and clever - a modern love story gone bad. Great and unpredictable ending. A good read and I'd recommend it to others. A great first book and the author, Pip Drysdale, will be on my reading list for the future.

I absolutely loved this book. It deserves more than 5 stars and should be made into a movie! When you find yourself smiling whilst reading you know the characters have you hooked. Part chick-lit, part psychological thriller. Kind of like a cross between Jojo Moyes and Harlan Coben!

5* Game of Dominos Stars

I absolutely devoured this thrilling, nail biting read. I was hooked from the first page and until the last word was read. This story is a game of “cat and mouse” between the Heroine Taylor and her on-again off-again boyfriend Angus and the lengths they both go to, to outsmart each other with dire consequences.

This book was fraught with lies and deceit. There were excellent twists and turns that one does not see coming.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this is Pip’s debut novel as the story was so well written and flowed well, it certainly made an impression on me.

I cannot wait to read what Pip brings us next as her imagination and writing skills are superb.

Many thanks to Simon & Schuster (Australia) and NetGalley for my ARC of this wonderful book in exchange for my honest review.

The Sunday Girl is a compelling story of domestic abuse in the digital age with lots of plot twists and turns and an end you didn’t see coming.

I read this on the train and nearly missed my stop two days in a row because I was so immersed in the story. A great first novel.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

I spent the first part of this book intrigued and excited as the story was woven and set up, and then spent the entire rest of the book with my heart in my mouth! This was one thrilling ride and one I certainly did not see coming.

The Sunday Girl expertly and sensitively gives a voice, a face, and a personality, to domestic abuse, and it is an eye-opening and amazing achievement for a debut novel. 4.5 stars - Highly recommended reading!

Many thanks to Pip Drysdale, Simon & Schuster Australia, and NetGalley for an ARC of this compelling book in exchange for an honest review. I sincerely look forward to reading more works from this author.

First and foremost, I think it would be helpful to have on the back cover a trigger warning for abuse, suicide, and drug use (I had a digital review copy so I don't know if this has been done, but just an idea!).

Secondly, holy hell, what an EXCELLENT plot! The writing was very accessible fiction-level, so it was a breeze to read, but the plot, man, it was good! If you've ever wanted to get revenge on a twat ex, then this is the read for you. I thought it was clever how the Art of War excerpts lead the chapters and so on! I don't want to ruin this but hell yes!

Firstly, I would like to thank NetGalley, Simon and Schuster (Australia) and Pip Drysdale for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of The Sunday Girl.
This book is the debut novel from Ms Drysdale? OMG!!! What will her second book be like if this novel shows her calibre of work in her first? Needless to say, I absolutely loved reading My Sunday Girl and stayed up all night to finish it. The storyline was well thought out and fast paced with each chapter leaving you wondering what could possibly happen next. And the reader certainly will not be disappointed.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves an "unputdownable" thriller. You know when you read a really, really awesome story that was so good it's hard to start reading another novel? THIS is that book.
Thankyou again to Pip Drysdale for sharing your talent with us. I look forward to reading more books from you in the future.

WOW what a different book. It kept me interested the entire way through. There were many on edge moments as things kept changing and twisting and leaving you wondering all the time. A great debut book, I will definitely look out for Pip's second novel.
