I NEED you to add this to your TBR if you were even remotely enthralled by that woman on TikTok that was in love with her therapist. I could not put this book down. It was funny, gave me anxiety, and had a great mystery.

○★○ What to Expect from This Book: ○★○
– About: A millennial antihero (Lillian) seeks revenge on her ex-situationship, only for him to coincidentally die the next day. After an investigation is opened, Lillian comes to find out that she wasn’t the only woman in his life, and she becomes obsessed with being the better “girlfriend” and finding out what happened to him.
– Location: Boston, MA
– POV: Single first-person
– Spice: A few open-door sex scenes (one of dubious consent)—but this is not categorically a romance book
– Tropes: suspense/literary fiction, narcissistic protagonist, millennial, murder mystery, weird girl lit
– Triggers: murder, narcissism/victim mentality, manipulation, dubious sexual consent, alcoholism, complex mother/daughter relationship
– Representation: LGBTQ+ side character, potty humor 😊

🎯 My Thoughts:
WHAT A DEBUT!! I was blown away and can’t wait for more from this author in the future. I could not put this book down. It was funny, gave me anxiety, and had a great mystery.
When I saw that this was being compared to Gone Girl, I was expecting more of a thriller (I remember being somewhat scared during that book), but this book was not scary to me. I mean, scary being inside that woman’s head, sure…but not like I was afraid to turn the lights off or anything. There is a murder. There is commentary about humanity. But it’s quite funny. I actually really appreciated that about this book.
The thing is, I think many people will relate to this book in ways that they may not want to fess up to, which is hilarious to me. It opens the discussion about being self-involved in a way that I haven’t really seen in books before. I loved to hate this character, but gall dang it if I didn’t also agree with her sometimes hahaha.
I also highly recommend checking out the author’s Instagram page (and her book-related page for the main character) if you read/like this book. It’s fun stuff.
Trying to get you to read this using some of my favorite quotes:

crazy town banana pants!
uh huh uh huh...this is my type of weird girl litfic 🤏🏽🤏🏽
somebody lock my girl Lillian up, we are not safe with her running around. if you like unhinged narcissistic women that lives in her own delusions...this is for you. if you think you know unhinged...think again because you haven't met Lillian yet.
with perfect pacing, short chapters & dark humor that kept me giggling out loud, it was so easy for me to fly through this.
Lillian was....a lot. she's kind of the worst really but hear me out, i kinda loved her. she kept me on my toes. being inside her head & seeing how absolutely delusional she was about everything was so fun. watching her make certain decisions that 100% made situations worse was just the icing on the cake for me.
this was a train wreck but an absolute blast & exactly what i needed to lift my spirits up.. it might not be for everyone but it definitely was for me! March cannot come fast enough, i need this sitting on my shelf right next to Sky Daddy ASAP!
Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review

October 23, 2025This novel is told with a mix of this kind of writing:
A girl across from me stopped reading her book and looked up at me, suddenly aware that there was an interesting person in her proximity. I locked eyes with her, and she looked back down, embarrassed.
with spurts of this kind of writing:
It dawned on me that he was breaking up with me.
After I had just sucked his dick.
"I just sucked your dick," I said.
Henry swallowed. "Well, I didn't want to say no to you."
"You literally guided my head to your penis," I said my voice thick with venom. "It's not like I was begging you for a morning bowl of cum." I was growing angrier by the second.
I dunno. Something about the narrator saying her voice was thick with something in this context seemed unintentionally in poor taste. Just as the words “in poor taste” seem a little strained in this review. Also it seems like it shouldn’t be “Henry” doing the swallowing in this scene. Sorry, sorry. I thought Crush, co-written by Kirsten King and Casey Rackham, was sassy and fun. I can imagine this novel translating into a sassy, fun film very easily. I would enjoy watching it. Those who read for story rather than language will love this novel more than I did.

A Good Person
by Kirsten King
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)
You ever pick up a debut novel and within a few chapters think: Wait. Are we sure this is a debut? Because that’s exactly what happened here. A Good Person is hands down one of the best books I’ve read this year, and the fact that it’s Kirsten King’s first outing into fiction makes me want to stand up and slow clap. The writing is that good—flawless, biting, and dripping with confidence. I devoured this in a couple of hours.
Now let’s talk about our girl Lillian. If I had to describe her in three words: unhinged, delusional, iconic. She is the kind of main character you do not root for, but you also cannot look away from. She is every red flag your therapist warns you about wrapped into one human, gift-wrapped with glitter tape. She is, in short, a disaster. And yet… I loved every single page with her in it. She is the reason this book works so well.
Her “situationship” with Henry is messy at best—she’s convinced it’s love, convinced she can manifest a future with him if she just tries hard enough, and convinced that she can control the story even when the story is collapsing around her ears. The moment she drunkenly hexes him, you just know things are about to spiral. And oh boy, spiral they do. Henry ends up dead, secrets tumble out, and suddenly Lillian is less “quirky girlfriend material” and more “prime murder suspect.”
But here’s the kicker: Lillian doesn’t see herself that way. She truly believes she’s the victim, the grieving almost-girlfriend, the one who deserves everyone’s sympathy. The mental gymnastics she pulls to keep her illusions intact? Olympic-level. Watching her twist every single situation into her favor—no matter how absurd or horrifying—was both infuriating and absolutely delicious to read.
The comparisons to Gone Girl and Big Swiss are spot on. Like Amy Dunne, Lillian is calculating, manipulative, and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny in her delusion. Like Greta from Big Swiss, she’s uncomfortably relatable at times—her loneliness, her hunger to be seen, her desperate need to be chosen. That’s what makes her so compelling. You don’t like her, but you see pieces of her in yourself (whether you want to admit it or not). And that’s unsettling in the best possible way.
The pacing here is perfect—it builds slow dread while still giving you those juicy, unhinged moments that make you whisper “oh no she didn’t” to yourself at midnight. The prose is sharp without trying too hard, the dialogue feels real, and the tension between what Lillian believes and what’s actually happening is executed to perfection. I kept highlighting lines, shaking my head, and texting friends things like: this girl is OUT OF CONTROL.
And let’s just take a moment to appreciate how clever this whole setup is. A messy millennial anti-heroine. A drunken hex that maybe, possibly, actually works. A murder investigation that she cannot help but insert herself into, because of course she has to be the main character in her own tragedy. It’s absurd. It’s chaotic. It’s also one of the most addictive psychological thrillers I’ve read in a long time.
A Good Person is not only a brilliant debut, it’s a bold one. Kirsten King doesn’t play it safe here—she goes all in on a protagonist you will love to hate, and the result is electric. I’m already clearing a spot on my “favorite books of the year” list for this one. If you love your fiction dark, funny, twisted, and unashamedly messy, this is it.
Kirsten King, take a bow. You wrote a debut that knocked me sideways, and I will read literally anything you publish next.
Thank you Netgalley, Putnam and the author for the eArc. All opinions are my own.
Thank you Kelsey for recommending this to me 😍

I LOVED THIS! I could hardly put it down because I was so anxious to see how everything panned out.
The book begins on Lillian's 29th birthday with her lamenting how she's approaching 30 and doesn't feel accomplished compared to her peers that are getting married, having children and/or successful careers. Lillian works in marketing and lives with a roommate, and her longest relationship is with her current boyfriend, Henry, who she has been seeing for four months. Lillian became instantly obsessed with Henry and imagines herself marrying and starting a life with him (not just Henry - she fantasizes about nearly everyone she interacts with in this way). Her infatuation leans a bit stalkerish and makes her act impulsively. So, it isn't surprising to anyone except Lillian when the relationship ends in a messy breakup. Feeling embarrassed and heartbroken, Lillian takes matters into her own hands by deciding to hex Henry, enlisting the help of her best and only friend, Jamie.
Lillian is completely unlikable (MY FAVORITE). She is narcissistic, impulsive, brutally honest and darkly funny. She lives in her own little delulu world in her head where she is perfect and everyone is in love with her; in reality, others view her as weird and she's generally the black sheep in every group. Yet somehow still, Kirsten King is able to throw in little tidbits that make you relate to Lillian and able to empathize with her at times. This makes for a wildly entertaining ride!
While reading, this book brought to mind my Queen, Anna Dorn's, extremely chaotic and wonderful 'Exalted.' The relationship between Lillian and Jamie reminds me of that between the narrator and Reva in 'My Year of Rest & Relaxation.' If you know anything about my reading taste, those are some of the highest regards I can give to this 220-page gem of a book. I have NO doubt that A Good Person is going to quickly find its niche in the weird girl lit loving community.
Thank you so much to the publisher, Putnam Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to receive an ARC of this book. A Good Person is set to 03.31.26 - MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!

I almost didn't finish this book...and then I couldn't stop thinking about it. I spent two days resisting, then I came back and read the entire second half in an evening. A GOOD PERSON gives readers an impossible-to-ignore invitation: "Ever wonder what's going on inside the head of a total sociopath? Yes? Great, let's go!" Lillian is truly, in every way, the worst. And yet I had to know what she'd do next. It's quick, it's twisty, it's casually wrong in every way, and it just works.

Thank you Net Galley for the ARC!
This book is WILD. I have truly never read a main character like Lillian. The author does a fantastic job of writing an incredibly narcissistic character while playing into the humorous aspects of the situation.
I had to put this book down a few times because Lillian kept making things so much worse for herself. But at the same time, I genuinely could not stop reading and I have been thinking about this book nonstop.
I’m very excited to read more by this author. I think she brings a fresh voice to lit fic. She writes about situations that people in their 20s can relate to.
I think people are going to rave about this one, I can’t wait until it’s published!

a darkly hilarious and brilliantly batshit high speed ride through the mind and life of a woman with truly nothing to lose, a good person is the unapologetically messy and unhinged novel that makes you question everything about the people around you. it'll have you exclaiming aloud every other page and you'll be unable to stop reading, even when you want to look away. this is the kind of book that's going to be everywhere upon release. lillian is the absolute worst, and i can't wait for the world to meet her.

Gone Girl meets Big Swiss is right I honestly wasn't expecting how hilarious, nerve-racking, and oddly relatable this book was going to be but it has shot up my list of the best books I've read this year (honestly probably in the top 5). We follow Lillian, a self-absorbed 20-something living in Boston, who's been seeing a man named Henry. Although her best friend sees the relationship as a "situationship", Lillian is desperate to lock him down and spend the rest of their lives together. But after Henry suddenly breaks up with her, in an act of rage she performs a hex she found a tutorial for on YouTube... and he actually ends up being murdered that same night.
Lillian's internal dialogue was so unhinged and fun to read, she's awful in the most enjoyable way possible. Her narcissism, delusions, and her desperation made for a fascinating read that I couldn't put down. the story went down paths that I didn't think it was going to, I'm going to remember those last 5 chapters for a long time lol.
Kirsten King's debut is amazing and I'm excited to see what she releases in the future. I'm pre-ordering my copy now, can't wait for it to be officially released in March and see what everyone thinks!

EXCUSE ME
September 5, 2025
(I added the spoiler option, but it’s light, possibly incognito..)
Wow 😳 I don’t where to begin. Or if any words will suffice. So I’m just gonna tap out a list of what comes to mind, and hope it’ll do because I am **flummoxed**…
So…
1. If Linda from SkyDaddy had a sister, it would be this FMC whose name is Lillian.
2. This book was equal parts comedic relief and downright disturbia. Full stop. Lillian was hilarious and certifiably delusional with a victim mentality of superior proportions. Hell, she might have been clinically insane. Idk. Then toss in a heap of trauma….!? Yea, this was a woman teetering on the brink. Actually, “teetering” is probably generous verbiage.
3. Don’t do ambien, y’all! Or if you do, go directly tf to bed. Do not pass the exiting threshold on ambien and do not wield Cuisinart on ambien! To bed you go. Your sheep are waitin’!
4. Form your own thoughts on prose & subject matter, obviously, but there’s absolutely no denying that King is incredibly talented!
~ If you’re a fan of the unique & unorthodox, pick this up. If you’re not sure, pick this up. If you’re not a fan, pick it up anyway. It’s an experience. 💯
Thanks to NetGalley and Putnam for this arc in exchange for review!

Hell, she might have been clinically insane. Idk. Then toss in a heap of trauma….!? Yea, this was a woman teetering on the brink. Actually, “teetering” is probably generous verbiage.
3. Don’t do ambien, y’all! Or if you do, go directly tf to bed. Do not pass the exiting threshold on ambien and do not wield Cuisinart on ambien! To bed you go. Your sheep are waitin’!
4. Form your own thoughts on prose & subject matter, obviously, but there’s absolutely no denying that King is incredibly talented!
~ If you’re a fan of the unique & unorthodox, pick this up. If you’re not sure, pick this up. If you’re not a fan, pick it up anyway. It’s an experience. 💯
Thanks to NetGalley and Putnam for this arc in exchange for review!

This was the most ridiculous insanity of a rollercoaster ride on the downward spiral of a narcissist’s life, in the best possible way, and I laughed the whole way through.
Going into this novel, keep in mind first and foremost you are stuck in the thoughts and feelings of the most narcissistic narrator of all time. You could write an entire research paper on the DSM 5 diagnoses for the main character. The things that come out of her mouth as she navigates her drama left my jaw on the floor. But at the end of the day she is JUST A GIRL!
This is a great read if you like reality tv level drama and watching people spiral their lives into complete and utter insanity to make yourself feel better about your own mental health, like I sure do!
I also love all the pop culture references throughout. A plethora of nonstop references to pop music, tv shows, and events of the 21st century.
I honestly reccomend just cracking this baby open without reading much of the plot because the turn that it randomly takes (which is in the book description) is so absurd it was an absolute treat to get to go into this completely blind.
Finding out after I read it that the author is also a screenwriter makes total total sense in the prose of the story, and sometimes I felt like I was watching a movie, but I seriously enjoyed and laughed at every ludicrous bit of this story.

I’ll write a review tomorrow. This was a fucking blast.
Update: A new all-time favorite. This book was an absolute delight from start to finish. Lillian is hands-down one of the most unforgettable characters I’ve ever read, and that is a huge compliment. She is gloriously unhinged, selfish, and unapologetically self-absorbed, caring about no one but herself. Experiencing a story through the eyes of someone so unapologetically unlikeable is an absolute thrill.
Her narcissism is off the charts, yet somehow, through clever humor, she becomes oddly endearing, and yes, that might say something about me. Kirsten King’s writing is razor-sharp, witty, and genuinely hilarious. I don’t often laugh out loud while reading, but I found myself chuckling repeatedly, thoroughly entertained by every scene. The pop culture references were spot-on, and I devoured this book in less than a day, completely captivated by Lillian and her delightfully intrusive thoughts.\
Reading this was like watching a car crash into a dumpster and catch fire. It was utterly chaotic and wild, in the absolute best way possible. I cannot wait to see what Kirsten King writes next!

After an abrupt dumping by her situationship, Lillian does what any of us would do—gets drunk and performs a revenge hex she found on youtube. Except oops, the guy ends up dead the very next morning. Now she’s tangled in suspicion, obsession, and a liiiiiiiitle anxiety over the effectiveness of that drunken hex.

This was laugh-out-loud funny, especially in the beginning. Lillian is the absolute worst kind of person, but man is she a fun train wreck to ogle from a safe distance. She makes terrible choices, with full confidence, and we just have to watch as she makes a sticky situation somehow ten times worse. And this is a debut! Kirsten King definitely has me in her clutches for her next book, this one was so exhilarating and entertaining to read. Even the “side” characters are complex and memorable.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this! I read the entire thing in almost one sitting because I couldn't put it down.
In the vein of other "unhinged", messy women lit fic, A Good Person follows Lillian, a narcissistic, stalkerish woman who is celebrating her four month anniversary with her self-proclaimed boyfriend, Henry. When he dumps her shortly after and she puts a YouTube hex on him in retaliation, he winds up dead, and Lillian becomes a suspect in the case.
Despite being a wholly terrible person, you can't help but keep reading about Lillian. As the story goes on, she sinks more deeply into her jealous, obsessive tendencies, which impact her roommate, her best friend, and even Henry's actual girlfriend. Each time Lillian gave me a shred of hope that she was reflecting on her own behavior, she'd go and do something unfathomably worse. I thought the plot progression was well done. Lillian is truly one of the most infuriating protagonists I've read in a while, but King does a great job of balancing her with more lighthearted, humorous plot points (everything about her job and the influencer was so nonsensical but so well-tied to the main plot). It was especially interesting to watch how Lillian manages to push away every person in her life through her own reprehensible behavior and how it comes to inform her decisions later on. King sticks the landing; it's unsurprising that the culmination of the story leads here, but it feels earned by the end.
I liked a lot of the social commentary that was sprinkled throughout, and I wish some of it had been further explored. Nora's storyline about social media and whether she was being exploitative in talking about Henry's death online was particularly relevant and interesting. It added another layer to see it filtered through Lillian's point-of-view; you were never really certain whether Nora was using the story for personal gain, or if this was simply Lillian's flawed perspective.
There were one too many pop culture references for my taste (and a few that will ultimately date the book). The similes were also very hit-or-miss (the one about used condoms in the ocean...?), but overall, the writing was solid for a debut.
I think this is a book readers are going to have a lot of fun with, and it's a fresh version of this type of protagonist and story. Definitely worth checking out if you've enjoyed books with similar insufferable protagonists and their questionable choices!

"No one preys on you if you are the monster."
This book and the main character, Lillian, was a hot mess express. If you know me then you know I’m all about the hottest mess. You think you know crazy… wait until you meet Lillian or should I say Lilian…
Wait! This was a debut!? Are you kidding me? This reads like a well established author and now I'm obsessed. The author knew how to instantly draw you into her story and never let you go. Like being wrapped in your favorite blanket from when you were younger. She was there to protect you when things went from crazy to downright insanity at the nuthouse.
The story was absolutely bonkers. Lillian had me screaming through the entirety of this book and I'm still sitting here wide-eyed about to have an attack. Holy s**t! Gurl!
'A Good Person' was a hell of a debut. Add this to your tbr if you love crazy and women being an absolute unhinged nightmare. Girl, I'm here for it!

A Good Person by Kirsten King. Thanks to @gpputnam for the gifted Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lillian thinks she’ll finally lock in a boyfriend, as her situation with Henry deepens, but she soon learns he feels differently. Angry she puts a drunken hex on him and is surprised when he’s found murdered the next day.
This is one of those books where you love to hate the narrator, but also hate to love her. Lillian is an awful person, but it’s hard to look away as she lives her life for herself only. Her selfishness rubs off on her life and her situations just become worse and worse but the reader is there for the spiral. It’s unusual to read about such a wildly unlikable character and still want more, but it happens.
“No one preys on you if you are the monster.”
Read this book if you like:
-Obsession tropes
-Unreliable narrators
-Female new adult stories
-Unlikeable characters
A Good Person comes out 3/31.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Lillian is a good person. She is great at her marketing job, a good friend and a kind, thoughtful girlfriend. Well hopefully girlfriend! She is still 'patiently' waiting for her frequent hook up Henry to open his eyes and see that they would have the perfect life together. But the worst happens when Henry ends things between them unexpectedly. In her grief, she turns to rising influencer "The Wellness Witch"'s videos and performances a hex on Henry. Things turn deadly when the next day he is found dead and she is a prime suspect in his murder after her ominous text of "youre going to get what you deserve". Desperate to prove she is a good person, Lillian undertakes the task of discovering the truth.
If you love completely delusional, self-centered, unhinged MC's then let me introduce you to Lillian. She is one of the biggest narcissists in the world, she thinks everyone loves her or would if she wanted them too (like she thinks it would take one wink and her lawyer would leave his family for her). But the truth is that she is obsessive, vindictive, and so selfish that most people don't even really want to be around her. She goes to great lengths to prove that she is Henry's one true girlfriend but she is so far up delulu creek and I'm not sure she ever had a paddle. I loved being in Lillian's head, she was hilarious when she went off on these tangents as she started to spiral. I also loved her therapy session where she spilled every little detail about everything.
This book is very similiar to the movie 'Fatal Attraction' in ways as well as a more humorous verison of the book 'Boy Parts' by Eliza Clark. So if you like either of those, I think you'll enjoy this one.
Thank you to Nergalley and G.P Putnam's Sons for the arc.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!! This book is definitely one of my favorite reads this year!!! I started yesterday afternoon and could not put it down, I had to find out how the story ended!!! Lillian is such a complex character and her inner dialogue was hilarious, I was laughing out loud at how ludicrous her mind was. When I requested the arc a few months back, I read the synopsis but once I actually got it I had forgotten was it was about so jumped into it blindly and really loved that because I was really shocked by absurdity of it all! An absolute 10/10 for me, already suggested it to all my friends that are equally as unhinged as me!
September 14, 2025
I would never tolerate a narcissist in real life, but give me one in a novel and I am hooked. A Good Person is basically watching Lillian burn her life down in slow motion, and I devoured it in one sitting because I couldn’t look away. Every decision she makes is like a car crash. You know you shouldn’t stare, but you absolutely do.
The characters felt painfully real (especially poor best friend/pushover Jamie), which made Lillian’s chaos hit even harder. And that ending? Chef’s kiss. The perfect payoff to all the beautifully terrible choices along the way.
This book is a train wreck, a mess, and an absolute delight. Highly recommend if you enjoy flawed, unlikable characters who are impossible to stop watching.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

successful anti-boston propaganda
I was apprehensive about this at first, but as soon as the hexing began I found myself entranced in this story and couldn't bring myself to put it down. Lillian's character was so unbelievably annoying at times but so reminiscent of that caricature of the zillenial we have in our heads, or maybe how we seem from the outside. Vapid, self-absorbed, egregiously (and often) wrong, Lillian should not be likable, but I found myself laughing out loud (re: goblingirlxo, amateur sorcerers) at her rationales and how her behavior feels uncomfortably accurate.
Go into this with zero expectations, expect to cringe at times, but enjoy the ride.

4 leaning 3.5
Fun and satirical! Somehow I didn’t tire of how ridiculous the protagonist’s voice is. I don’t usually like the “what if a girl was fucked up” genre but I think this was interesting enough and challenging that trope a wee bit so I was hooked.

My first NetGalley ARC! I honestly couldn’t put it down. The unreliable narrator, unhinged woman thing can be so good when done correctly and I think this book nailed it.
September 5, 2025
This book was like nothing I have ever read before. Lillian is unhinged and unfiltered and it was exciting and often uncomfortable to live through such an uninhibited, self-preserving POV. At the core of the story, Lillian is a single woman living in Boston and seeking love. She convinces herself she's found it in Henry, her situationship of four months. When he's murdered, Lillian's bizarre choices and reactions take the reader on a head-scratching journey that ultimately leads to the book's central question: What makes a person good? Don't we all ultimately want the same thing: "to be seen by someone and to still be loved." Come to this book for a character study and for its voice; stay for the mirror it will hold up to your face. Highly recommend.
August 27, 2025
ABSOLUTELY FANASTIC!!!! I love the weird unhinged girl genre and this one really delivers. Lillian is insane. This one had so many "WTF' moments and pop culture references - it had me laughing so hard throughout but also wanting to know what happened to Henry. I will read anything and everything Kirsten King writes. A solid read!
Big thanks to Netgalley & Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons for the ARC!!!

Lillian just wanted her situationship to turn into a real relationship. Instead, she got dumped, hexed him (drunkenly), and oops… now he’s actually dead.
And to her great surprise, Lillian is a suspect. But grieving? Oh she’s committed to that bit. She will absolutely reclaim her rightful role as Henry’s posthumous girlfriend, clear her name, and maybe also confront the other girl he forgot to mention (yep, there’s a secret long-term girlfriend, because of course there is).
A Good Person is horny, unhinged, emotionally unstable, and full of intrusive thoughts that Lillian often acts on. Our girl is definitely not a good person, in fact she’s a horrible person, but it’s never dull being inside her narcissistic, alcoholic little head.
If Gone Girl had a chaotic millennial baby sister and Big Swiss lent her a little slutty delusion, you’d get this book.
This book is for the girls who:
💋 would 100% do a hex for the plot
🍷 consider delusion a coping mechanism
🧘🏻♀️ would rather monologue to their therapist than self-reflect
Vibe check: Revenge isn’t the only thing served cold- so is accountability.
