An electric binge-of-a-debut about an antihero who seeks revenge on her ex-situationship with a hex, only for him to actually, literally die.

Lillian and Henry have been enjoying each other’s company, particularly in bed. Even though Lillian’s best (and only) friend calls it a “situationship,” Lillian knows better. And she has a plan to lock Henry down. She’ll be the best, most accommodating version of herself until he falls in love with her. But when Henry blindsides Lillian with a breakup instead of a love declaration, Lillian is left with no choice but to exact revenge with a hex.

Lillian expects Henry to grovel and come crawling back to her. What she doesn’t anticipate is becoming a prime suspect in his murder case when he’s found 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 may just upend her life for good.

A deliciously addictive novel that explores our darkest, most human impulses, A Good Person heralds Kirsten King as a striking new voice in fiction.

SURPRISED

This book made me laugh out loud 🤣. Definitely recommend reading it. I want more books by this author.

Excellent until the last 5 minutes. :(

Not sure why it ended like that so abruptly. Up until then I was enjoying this ride in the mind of a narcissist! She was equal parts funny and cringe! I never hated a character while laughing and loving her at the same time. Wow. I now feel better about my life and that I only have OCD. lol maybe it ended like that because there’s a part 2? I hope so. I will read it.

Hi-lay

This book killed me. I loved the awful protagonist so much I can’t even describe it. If you like an unlikable main character, this book is for you. Completely lacking in self-awareness, the narrator is a hilarious piece of work and the story is perfect. Excellent reading as well. 10/10 no notes.

SOOO good

I love the main character. Being in the mind of a narcissist was a wild ride and she was so well written

Did not like the ending

This book was great until the end. I wasn’t satisfied with the way things were left. Can the ending please be re-written?
