Synopsis

'A zillenial Gone Girl . . . Acerbic, darkly feminine and very funny' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'Hilarious and addictive' DAILY MAIL

'A must-read . . . With tart prose that tastes like sour candy, Kirsten King's debut is a home run' MARIE CLAIRE

Lillian is having a great time with Henry: he's charming, well-educated, and exactly the kind of guy she'd like to end up with. That is, until she stays the night at his flat and they end up in a huge argument. Furious, Lillian seeks revenge on Henry by performing a drunken YouTube hex on him.

But then Henry actually ends up dead.

Desperate to control the narrative, clear her name, and assume her rightful place as Henry's mourning girlfriend, Lillian's pursuit of the truth will throw her into a dangerous tailspin, which just may just upend her life for good.

'Sharp, hilarious, and painfully relatable' MONIKA KIM, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART

'I adored this deliciously acidic, addictive novel' EMMA VAN STRAATEN, prize-winning author of THIS IMMACULATE BODY

'Wild, wicked, and laugh out loud funny. Lillian is a bad person, but Kirsten King is a great writer' SARAH HARMAN, prize-winning author of ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS HATE ME

'Electrifying. A Good Person is a compulsively readable and sharply insightful . . . I loved it' KIMBERLY MCCREIGHT, New York Times bestselling author of LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

'Wickedly funny . . . [as] if Ottessa Moshfegh dabbled in murder' SEATTLE TIMES

A fun, addictive read! Fantastic
This was such an addictive, chaotic read, and one I’d definitely recommend going into as blind as possible. What really makes this story is Lillian. ... READ MORE
