'A must-read . . . 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' MARIE CLAIRE

'I adored this deliciously acidic, addictive novel' EMMA VAN STRAATEN, Women's Prize Discoveries-winning author of THIS IMMACULATE BODY

'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 upend her life for good.

'Sharp, hilarious, and painfully relatable, Kirsten King's debut will keep you laughing as you turn each page' MONIKA KIM, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART

'Electrifying. A Good Person is compulsively readable and sharply insightful . . . I loved it' KIMBERLY MCCREIGHT, New York Times bestselling author of LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

'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
