Well….Sally is a glorified serial killer. That being said…..all of the people who have become unalive due to Sally’s actions were very horrible people. This was a book unlike any I’ve ever read before. It was both entertaining and horrific. I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It was a fun and interesting plot and was witty all the way though. I was laughing out loud at some points.
I loved that each individual character had a well fleshed out story and that it wasn’t just the main character that got her moment.
The book deals with many different triggering topics so just be aware of that before going into it.

When sally killed Harry will be out on 27th of March 2025 ✨

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for allowing me to read an ARC of When Sally Killed Harry by Lucy Roth, in exchange for my honest review.

Do not mistake this book for the movie with the similar name. This is not a fluffy rom-com; this was a slightly dark, sometimes humorous, interesting, witty, quick-moving book.

I really enjoyed this story - start to finish!

This was a great thriller! I really enjoyed this one. an obsessed woman. yeah. a definite recommend.

Thanks publisher and netgalley. all thoughts are my own

I can’t say I ‘enjoyed’ this book as any book that is talking about violence against women is never enjoyable, however a group of women forming a club to get revenge on the men that have harmed them is quite an interesting concept.

Sally has moved to America to start a new life as she can no longer stand living anywhere near her mother’s killer. And then she meets Harry and thinks he might finally be the one…but then he cons her out of her life savings so she decides to get her revenge…

A nice straightforward read that doesn’t tax the brain too much.

***advance review copy received from NetGalley in return for an honest review***
This is okay for a throw away beach read, but the storyline isn’t particularly original - there are so many women taking revenge on bad men novels out at the moment - and, frankly, this falls beneath par against some of those.
That said, it’s an easy read and whilst the main character is pretty two dimensional, the book still has its enjoyable moments.

The Sweetpea series is one of my favourite of all time, and Sally is up there with my fave female protagonist Rhiannon from those books!

I absolutely loved this - it’s funny, hugely entertaining with an incredibly important underlying message around the epidemic of violence against women.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and really hope it’s not the last we see of Sally!

This had a great synopsis however the story isn't any good. MC is a total bitch because she has some kind of trauma with her mother and men, it's never really defined so it reads like MC hates all men. She gets robbed by a dude from on-line. Starts a man hating club to get revenge on all the wronged women-again kinda a good idea but the story is clunky-goes from subject to subject with no real continuity. I was not enjoying the ride so I DNF'd at 77%. I gave it a good go however I don't care how it ends.

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for an ARC of this novel

This was my first book by this author, and it was a real page-turner.

This is a story of found family/you go girl vibes, as Sally (who is morally grey to begin with) finds an opportunity to get revenge on a slick conman who slid into her DMs.

Realizing she’s not alone, she unites with other women wronged by the same man and pursues revenge.
The whole “you messed with the wrong woman” theme was fun to read, and I recommend it.

I was happy to have received an ARC of this from Netgalley, and I voluntarily leave my review.

I had some expectations with this book, and they had nothing to do with the tittle being related to some famous and popular movie, I haven’t even seen it btw.

I think the beginning of the book was ok, but it took some time to develop, and at some point I found it boring and I just wanted it to end.

I don’t think the book is bad, I just think it was not the right time for me, I’m so sorry.
I still would recommend it to my friends, maybe they like it more than I did.

Thank you endlessly to the publishers and Netgalley for the arc.

Also, please everybody forgive me for my bad English.

If it’s wronged women taking out men let me tell you, I AM HERE FOR IT. There was literally no humour in this story I felt, it was rushed and everything was too convenient ! This was a bit disappointing- this had the potential to be really great with a lot of different women’s stories and experiences with bad men but this was not a book for me. There was literally no police interest in any of these crimes - and everyone was just too accepting of the crimes that were happening around them which made it all just slightly too unbelievable! And BOY did this author love ellipses… they were everywhere!

I can honestly say, hand on heart, I have NEVER read a book quite like this.

When I read the description it sounded interesting and had me wanting to read more and so here we are..I never actually expected it to be what it was though, it was so much more than I thought it was going to be.

Sally has had a heartbreaking childhood which in turn made her angry and cynical. When Sally is wronged once again by a man, she teams up with other wronged women to form a group to rally behind each other.

Sally doesn’t just want what he took back she wants revenge and won’t stop until she’s gotten it but revenge for Sally is so much more than you’d expect.

Can’t say I was a big fan of the obsession she seemed to have with Harry, her every thought seemed to go to him and her revenge towards him was completely over the top in my opinion.

Other than that I quite enjoyed reading this. It was thrilling to see what these women were going to do next.

It was funny and heartbreaking all at the same time. Hearing those women’s stories and their hurt was so sad.

When Sally Killed Harry is a revenge thriller focused on women getting revenge on men who have taken advantage and hurt them. It’s about women empowering women and standing by each other no matter what. It’s a touch dark but all around an interesting, fast paced read.

This was a great thriller! I really enjoyed this one so much, so much happened! I defiantly recommend this one to everyone!

The cutesy title and the revenge premise are all that this book has to offer. Poorly written with awful, one-dimensional characters. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I love a tale of feminine rage and revenge, but this one just didn't cut it for me, so I was left feeling disappointed.
Everything felt rushed, convenient and a lot happens off page.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc ebook.

"There's being ghosted. Then there's being fucking poltergeisted."

Rom com with a twist, our main character Sally is a complex character with a traumatic background, a lot of bad dates and a therapist as a roommate. What ensues is a commentary of modern dating, how crap men can be and the revenge fantasy that plays out probably more than often in women’s minds.

Fans of the movie can read safety knowing there isn’t parallels drawn from the movie, it’s just a clever title.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and Avon Books UK for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

1/5 stars: This is Roth's stand-alone which is a Mystery Thriller that follows a British woman in New York City who finds herself swindled by a total dreamboat who just so happened to be a liar and conman. After discovering she's not the only victim, she's set on taking revenge. With a group of wronged women behind her, she sets out to make his life a living nightmare and while murder isn’t on the agenda just yet she's not crossing it off as a possibility. Roth's writing and character work are well done. Unfortunately, this just wasn't a book for me; leading me to DNF it at 8%.

I received this eARC thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK | Avon in exchange for an honest review. Publishing dates are subject to change.

This book is quite sad and dark, focussing on each woman's story of domestic violence, sexual assault and financial exploitation. Sally's story as a child was incredibly sad. With that being said, it is also a light hearted story of revenge; women coming together to shame and harm the awful men in their lives.

This book was simply okay. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Some parts were slightly far fetched and it seemed a bit absurd that they were getting away with everything that they did. I also didn't love the narration at the beginning of the book - I usually prefer first person narration but I found Sally a bit cringey, especially in the parts when she was talking to the reader. This seemed to get a bit better as the book went on though.

I didn't expect the ending for both Priya and Sally, that was shocking. I didn't feel particularly connected to any of the characters, that could definitely have been made stronger with perhaps chapters for each womans perspective. I don't think Sally was a strong enough character. I did enjoy this book for the most part, and love the vengeful female rage genre that seems to be growing, but definitely not the best.

"Self-defence is a necessity in this world. Attack, well, that's recreational."

A dark and delightfully vengeful addition to the women's revenge genre that has taken my heart by storm! This book is an all too realistic tale of misogyny and the fear all women must endure in a world controlled by men. But Some Women won't be controlled. Sally is one of those women and she has work to do.

The blurb;
This is the story of how I killed Harry Collins. Destined to be the great love of my life – until one day I wake up in the Big Apple with the world's worst hangover, an empty bank account, and the sinking feeling that my life just nosedived. How it happened is a blur, but one thing is clear: I’ve been swindled and I’m not happy about it. ​ When I discover I’m not the only victim, I decide it’s only right I take my revenge. And with a group of wronged women behind me, murder isn’t on the agenda yet because Harry’s in for a nightmare and I’m only just getting started…​

My thoughts;
This book is perfect for fans of Katy Brent’s HTKMAGAWI and IBYLGIAC- Sally reminded me a little of Kitty Collins and I enjoyed the similarities in the books themes and the support group.

The book is medium paced, and told from Sally’s pov. As the story evolves, we get little glimmers of Sally’s mysterious past and the trauma that she faced.

I liked Sally, she is strong and determined and a great support to the new found friends around her. She was quite fixated on Harry throughout the book, but this book was about Sally and Harry so it made sense.

I really enjoyed this one, and hope to read more from this author in the future. Thank you to Netgalley and Avon books for the advance copy of this book. Opinions expressed here are my own. 4.5⭐️
