Please may I recommend some novels told from the point of view of sleazy, morally repugnant and unreliable narrators to you instead?

Tampa by @AlissaNutting is filthy and I mean that in the best way.

In @melissabroder’s The Pisces self-destructive Lucy falls in love with a merman but he’s not the only thing that’s fishy.

Bunny by @monaawadauthor is a horror novel about how MFA programs can bring out the worst in even the most non-conformist heroines.

My Sister the Serial Killer is Oyinkan Brathwaite’s fast-paced, harrowing thriller about a woman who helps her charismatic sister get away with murder.

I could not care less about your feelings about the story “Cat Person.” But Kristen Roupenian’s debut collection is full of intriguing and deranged heroines.

Halle Butler, author of Jillian and The New Me, is the bard of gross bodies and grosser minds.

Ottessa Moshfegh writes beautifully of terrible people of all sorts. Eileen still thrills.

I will never forget Jade Sharma’s Problems because it features an imperfect, unloveable heroine who enraptures us just the same.
