What to expect
TV series starring Ella Purnell now on Sky Atlantic!
The last person who called me ‘Sweetpea’ ended up dead…
Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret.
By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list.
A kill list.
From the man on the checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannon’s ready to get her revenge.
Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder…

nUser Reviews
The book itself was not good in my opinion, the writing felt lazy and the concept was never fully realised. I found a lot of the writing offensive and the thoughts and opinions expressed felt like I was reading a Twitter feed.
