Three women in an affluent West Sussex community are each experiencing a crisis while they prepare to put on an am-dram production of Blithe Spirit. (I've never managed to get through Coward's play so it's not essential to be familiar with it, but a quick Google allowed me to see the resonances.)

A great page-turner which is entertaining and engaging while also tackling some serious themes around relationships and mental health.

Well, this book was definitely way more different from what I expected. lol
But in a good way!!!
The art cover is stunning, but the content is heavy and full of pertinent discussions on mental illnesses.
It's quite a short book, but it has a lot to say and to make us, the readers, thinking about and digesting it.
Certainly a very pleasant surprise.

This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I was not disappointed. It was a really good book. I did have moments where it seem slow, but overall it was written well. It was written about mental illness, and the way that it is treated. The way the author chose to write about such a hard topic was well done. I enjoyed this book immensely. I look forward to more books by this author. Thank you Net Galley ARC!

This is such a good book! It is about mental illness and we have our main character in a mental institution. We can't tell as readers if we have a reliable narrator or not. It is so intriguing and keeps you wondering throughout the book. It is a bit eye opening learning about the treatment of people, how so many people scam others, etc. I think there a couple slow parts and confusing parts, but other than that it was great!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and especially the author for this ARC in exchange for my honest review of the book!!
