Jill Is Not Happy

I wanted to scream every second of reading this book. Kaira Rouda does it again in Jill is Not Happy. The book is written from the points of view of a married couple, Jack and Jill. Some of the chapters are present day and some take readers back to the couple’s college years when Jack’s best friend, Ted, is killed.

From the getgo, we know that Jill is a horrible person. She’s manipulative, a thief, and worst of all, has no problem with murder. Jack, on the other hand, realizes his big mistake in marrying Jill and doesn’t know how to get himself out of it. The topper on the cake is that Jill keeps a notebook journal. In it, she writes everything of importance that has happened in the couple’s lives. The twist? She writes bad things about Jack and good things about herself even though they’re not true. The fact that Jill is so evil and Jack is so stupid is what makes this book painful, but good. Jill is Not Happy kept me engaged from cover to cover.
