Kill Your Darlings

My review on instagram
Feel like something utterly gripping? Kill Your Darlings will have you guessing till the very last page.
After forty years, Thom Graves has become a bit of a disappointment to his wife, Wendy. He drinks way too much, flirts with other women and most worrying of all, is in danger of revealing their darkest secrets; secrets they have vowed to keep between the two of them forever. How has their relationship deteriorated so? How has Thom – her soul-mate – turned into such a defeated man? And what if the only way for Wendy to bury the truth is to bury her husband?
Kill Your Darlings starts at the end and slowly drip-feeds you information going back and back in time till the day Wendy and Thom met on a school bus trip to Washington DC. It is so cleverly structured – you learn everything in reverse. I finished the book and went straight back to the beginning to double-check myself. It’s totally unputdownable and you need to read it before the movie comes out next year. Guess who’s starring in it: Julia Roberts!
