Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashini— who else has read this unhinged book?
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
I just finished the audiobook and cannot believe my ears. I was hate-listening to this novel after 30 minutes in and almost gave up a few times.
The main character was so insufferable up until the point it is revealed that she’s a full blown psychopath. For some reason, I don’t believe it was unbelievable but rather just… a lot of work for nothing??? I mean, yes, she got the house, but she still killed two people! Possibly 3 if she didn’t kill her husband at the end. I don’t see why she couldn’t just go back to Dotty somehow and try to get the paper somehow, someway.
When she was going to go back to the house, I thought maybe she was going to find the paper from his computer and hack in or something.
I feel like it tried to be like Gone Girl without being as clever. I don’t know. I was just… idk. Maybe I would have liked it better if I have read it. The audiobook narrator was great but maybe a little too great to the point I HATED the character so much.
A lot of cringe writing with this book, like Millenial trying to be Gen-Z while still being Millenial. And I say this as a Millenial.
Any other thoughts?
