As they say, don't get mad, get even - get revenge, and don't get caught. A quite different Harry and Sally, and no lunch at Katz's deli! Found family, found salvation, and found mission - plus a few surprises along the way. And yep, you will root for all of them.
This is an easy read with a deeper message. After being swindled by conman Harry, Sally discovers that she is not alone in her predicament. So, what is she going to do about it?
The answer to this question provides some enjoyment and more than a touch of humour, but also raises issues related to gender hierarchies, power and payback. Sally is a morally grey character, but it is hard not to have some sympathy for her and others like her. Actions, meet Consequences! This gets 3.5 stars.
This is a fun crime novel about revenge that has a serious underlying message about misogyny and violence against women.
Sally is a morally complex character with a difficult past. It seems natural and right that she ends up as an avenging hero when she's conned out of money by a new boyfriend who she's met on an app.
It's a light read but has thought provoking moments. I like this sub genre of vengeful women novels and this sits well in the field. I especially liked Sally's voice. Her snarkiness and sardonic nature was a joy to read. It was easy to root for her.
Sally is a complex character.
Along with a small group of women they aim to seek out the awful men in there live's.
Great storyline, a really good read.
The ending answer's a big question.
Hope there is a follow up.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing this book, with my honest review below.
When Harry met Sally is such a classic, but it was time for a twist with When Sally Killed Harry. Not at all reminiscent of that film (so it’s still safe if you’re a fan) this story dives into a woman who is out of revenge against a conman who slid into her dating app. What makes Sally’s revenge even better is that she’s not content to sit and take out her anger on Harry when she sees other woman being conned and treated badly, forming a vigilante support group to take justice into their own hands.
I need to disclaimer that Sally is disturbed pre dating Harry (literally) and so while this is a ‘you go girl’ feeling book it’s also not all fun and games as Sally is a complex character who has been hurt in the past and she’s incredibly morally grey, which may be to expected. Still, I had to support her as she helped bring other women out of their shell and empowered them. There were some opportunities to make the story smoother as there were times we jumped around in terms of supporting character’s personalities and development rather wildly to the point of disbelief, not to mention Sally’s own reckoning(s). But I did love the core story and Sally as a character was developed quite well.
