What if the year's most talked about TV show was all about your marriage?
Kate, thirty years into her marriage, has a seemingly idyllic metropolitan, North London life.
Phoebe, a young screenwriter, is the creator of the year's hit TV show, Cheating.
When Kate's world takes a darker turn, she thinks she sees details and intimacies in the show that only she and her husband Jack could possibly have known. But who has betrayed who? Who gets to tell whose story?
A black comedy of resentment and entitlement, Look What You Made Me Do is the story of two very different women from two very different generations, heading toward a battle only one of them can win.
Customer Reviews
Writing good, content meh
I don’t know if this is correct to say but; the story is narrated from two women’s perspectives and does convey a woman’s everyday thoughts in a relatable way. However, the fact the author is male makes it feel fake and surface level. While reading I felt as though I was reading about two woman childishly squabbling with disproportionate, unrelated reactions. Given that this was a women’s narrative, the plot entirely hindered on men- yes this has deeper meaning and whatnot but I didn’t like it. To say something positive; this book was witty and written well. I only have an issue with the content.
Long winded
Don’t bother as far too wordy, irrelevant and boring. Depressing ending and an unpleasant read with only one relatable, kind character who ends up in jail!
