'Wild, wicked, and laugh out loud funny. Lillian is a bad person, but Kirsten King is a great writer' SARAH HARMAN, prize-winning author of ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS HATE ME
Lillian is having a great time with Henry: he's charming, well-educated, and exactly the kind of guy she'd like to end up with. That is, until she stays the night at his flat and they end up in a huge argument. Furious, Lillian seeks revenge on Henry by performing a drunken YouTube hex on him.
But then Henry actually ends up 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 just may just upend her life for good.

Recenzii
Once you hop on this wild ride of a novel, you won't want to get off . . . With tart prose that tastes like sour candy, Kirsten King's debut is a home run. Commenting on everything from corporate culture to dating and gender roles, this novel had all the ingredients of a must-read
Sharp, hilarious, and painfully relatable, Kirsten King's debut will keep you laughing as you turn each page. Lillian is the chaotic friend, the ex you still stalk, and the woman you claim to despise but still can't stop following
I adored this deliciously acidic, addictive novel. Lillian is my favourite kind of heroine, interior, self-interested and dripping with venom. Her grotesque worldview is, in turn, funny, tragic, minutely observed and worryingly relatable. Poisonous, giddy, excruciating, delightful - an exceptional debut
Electrifying. A Good Person is a compulsively readable and sharply insightful spin on the unreliable narrator and an utterly fresh take on a page-turning thriller. I loved it
Wild, wicked, and laugh out loud funny. Lillian is a bad person, but Kirsten King is a GREAT writer
I stayed up way too late reading Kirsten King's A Good Person. I could not put it down, had to know how it ended. Wow. Maybe Lillian is not your textbook definition of a good person, but I fell for her hard
I raced, cringing, through Kirsten King's taut psychological thriller, compelled and repelled in equal measure by Lillian's assured narration. After spending so much time in Lillian's head, the reader starts to lose sight of what, exactly, makes 'a good person.' And that's high praise
You'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll find it painfully relatable. A Good Person is delightfully dark, funny, and thought-provoking. I couldn't put it down
An enthusiastically deranged frolic of a novel, A Good Person is for readers who adore mess. I couldn't get enough of Lillian's voice, both disturbing and delightful, and felt so sorry for every character that crossed her path. Truly an enchanting debut from Kirsten King with a wink, a smile and a swift kick in the ass. Loved!
An unforgettable read, driven by a delightfully diabolical antiheroine whose antics are both terrifying and impressive. I gulped it down in two delirious sittings, gobsmacked by the twists and turns, and by Lillian's dangerous self-delusion. But be warned: the most terrifying twist might be just how much Lillian reminds you of yourself in your darkest moments
A daring thrill ride into the dark corners of a troubled mind . . . What starts as a hilarious zippy sugar high becomes a harrowing crash-I was entranced, reading through my fingers but also never putting it down
King's A Good Person is a ferocious, anxiety inducing, and hilarious debut. Lillian is an antiheroine for the ages and a brutal figurehead for the worst parts of gen z. The experience of reading her progressive downward spiral felt like a sustained panic attack. I audibly said 'oh no' about every three pages. A mic drop of a debut
A Good Person is a laugh-out-loud, unflinchingly sharp thriller that's unlike anything I've ever read before. An ode to unlikable female characters and the darkest, most honest parts of ourselves, this novel reads like a love letter to Amy Dunne of Gone Girl. In other words, it's my dream book. I absolutely loved it
