I can honestly say I've never met a character quite like Julie! She lives in her own delusional world and if something isn't going how she likes via her love life, well, she takes care of it. Julie is a 49 year old spreadsheet wiz just looking for love in all the wrong places. Unfortunately her social cues aren't the best and she's constantly falling for others who aren't actually in love with her, like she thinks. As the title suggests she isn't a psychopath, a serial killer would be a better term. I flew through this one and while it was a bit of a deviation from what I normally read, it was very entertaining and a great debut! Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is not my typical read, but it certainly was a fun read. Julie is many things throughout the story, but is she a psychopath? You will have to decide.

This was a hoot to read! Julie is a character like no other. Some might call her quirky. Some might call her a psychopath. She is living in her own world, for sure.

As the story progresses, it jumps from the present back to Julie’s younger years to fill in the gaps about her past and what a past it was. The book cover gives a little taste of her activities.

I like that the story is told through Julie’s voice, so you can really see the crazy oozing out. This would not be humorous in real life, but in fiction, it makes for good reading.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Landmark, and Jennifer Holdich for providing me with this ebook to read and review.

This was a very entertaining read. Julie Tudor is a fun character - extremely unhinged and also very confident that her particular flavor of delulu is correct. Recommended for anyone who is into comedic crime thrillers.

Julie, Julie, Julie. You may be a mess of a human but you make for incredible entertainment. This was a dark, humorous romp. I flew through this book. It was incredibly entertaining and easy to digest. Julie is definitely not making the history books for her decision making skills or observations of social cues. The juxtaposition between the twisted events and the comedic undertones worked perfectly for me as a reader

Julie Tudor is not a stalker or a serial killer. Julie Tudor is a middle aged woman desperate for love and attention from her male counterparts and will show them the wrongs in their choosing of other relationships. She will show them their wrongdoings and make them see that she is the one for them.

This book was a wild ride. In the beginning, I didn't know where it was going. Julie seemed mild mannered even if a little off. She slowly became obsessed with her 25 year old co-worker, Sean, believing in her own mind that they were in love and just concealing their feelings from one another. She did not like the fact that Sean had a girlfriend then a fiancée and then a wife. As the story progressed, Julie's character started to unfold over the pages and you realize this mild-mannered woman who believed her 1980s Princess Diana wedding day hair was "timeless" was delusional and dangerous.

Typically you read books about how lonely men become obsessed with women who show them a slight bit of kindness, but seeing and reading it now from the perspective of a woman was definitely interesting and a unique reading experience.

Would I recommend this book? Yes. It is a quick and thrilling read.

This was SUCH a fun read! I truly enjoyed diving into the pages of this book! Julie Tudor is an interesting character that you can’t help to fall in love with or maybe she’ll help you along that way 😉

This was a good read for anyone looking for some humor and a definitely not psychopathic main character!

I had so much fun reading this book! My FAVORITE type of main character has funny internal dialogue and completely unhinged and that is 100% Julie Tudor!

Julie’s love life is complicated, and she has no luck with the man she truly wants to be with. She may claim she’s not a psychopath, but she is doing some truly psychotic things to proclaim her love.

The amount of times my jaw dropped and I laughed out loud while reading this 👏🏻 👏🏻

Read if you love:
-all things unhinged
-multiple timelines
-people bad at relationships
-bingeworthy books

Huge thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark for letting me be a part of this cover reveal and also getting an ARC through NetGalley!

Wow what a perfect read!

I love the psycho humor of this novel. Julie is a well-written main character that somehow makes you feel a little sympathy for her.

After all, she's not a psychopath, just knows he loves her.
