A tour de force: a macabre, fast-moving moral fable

1. 4/5

   Revenge is sweet?

   How many of us tend to dream of a sweet revenge? Yes, I bet we all sometimes want to make a special person pay for hurting our feelings. This novel is a brilliant example of sweet revenge, and it just made me giggle as I read it under my blanket with a hot cup of coffee. I recommend this book to all women who have been left for another woman.
