A really interesting and engaging read, asking the question does psychopath run in families. beautifully executed against a backdrop of strongly written, complex female characters and a deep understanding of female friendship. It had real depth to it, very enjoyable.

Part literary fiction, part general fiction, part thriller, this novel is hard to pigeon hole into just one genre. The plot is as much about these women's relationships with each other as it is about Marc, Joni's manipulative and cruel brother. Many moving parts, so well executed.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this novel.

I really liked this book! It was real and I loved the themes of womanhood, friendship, adult relationships, and gender norms. It was so good and it was eye opening and informative while also being funny and enjoyable.

Women Like Us revisits the question if one person in a family is a psychopath, will there be a close relative with the same diagnosis. We are immediately told that Joni killed her husband years ago and got away with it. Joni now channels her aggressiveness and runs a highly successful production company, begun by her husband. This book is also about the power of relationships and friendships between women. Joni, her grown daughter Chris, and best friend Val are closely intertwined in the business and in everyday life. When Joni’s brother Marc shows up unexpectedly, his reappearance rocks the foundation of Joni’s life and all she has carefully built. Has he changed? This is a very clever book, humorous at times, with fully developed and interesting characters. The story is quickly engaging and the plot moves along seamlessly. I really enjoyed it.

Women Like Us by Katia Lief was the latest read I’ve finished. It was an enjoyable book that I recommend to fiction readers.

Great book. Enjoyed the story and the characters. One untied up part that I would like to know more about, but thoroughly enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well-paced, well-written and suspenseful. The characters were unique and well-developed. My favorite thing was probably the voice; it felt unique and the writing had a lot of depth for a mystery/thriller.
