Twisted! Twisted in every sense of the word. I had lots of “wait, what” moments. I loved the psychological aspect of this book as well as the revenge aspect. It just all worked so well into this crazy story! I devoured this book and it’s one that I could read again just to see what I missed. Well done Darcey Bell!

Thank you Atria Books and NetGalley for this sneak peak! Publication date is March 21, 2023.

There is some good stuff here, but it's absolutely overwhelmed by a nasty pet abuse current. I have limits. Don't put me in the mind of someone witnessing a beloved companion being tortured. Just don't.

Man I flew through this book! I really like the psychological aspects of it and how the author incorporated it into the story. The main character Lorelei has an incredible bond and love for her pet cats. I can relate to that as I feel the same about my dog. You think you know where this book is gonna go and it ended up heading somewhere completely different.

Lorelei and Holly became friends in college while attending the same psychology class. Their professor whom they called Dell, specialized in control and human behavior. Lorelei and eventually Holly became very close with Dell. Holly and Lorelei’s friendship ended after a tragic event and Lorelei never really recovered.

Twenty years later Holly is the “Woman of the Year”. She has everything that Lorelei every wanted and never got. The “Woman of the Year” gala is the perfect place for her to get her revenge. However, Lorelei isn’t the only person who’s seeking revenge against Holly and before long Lorelei realizes that she’s in danger too.

Woman of the Year is available March 21,2023.

Thank you to netgalley and atriabooks for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Great premise! Holly has everything Lorelei wants, and she obtained by hurting Lorelei deeply over 20 years ago in college. Lorelei has a planned revenge that will culminate in an an awards night celebrating Holly.

Read this thrilling book to learn more about what Holly did and what else impacted Lorelei. Like all thrilling novels, there is much more than what meets the eye. If you like a good revenge story, have a high school or college friend you hate or just want to live, vicariously through Lorelei's genius plan, Woman of the Year is for you!

Bell is back with another delectable thriller that left me transfixed by the storyline. Charming characters and a perfect setting only add to the overall excellence!
