This book completely took me by surprise\u2014in the best way possible. Don\u2019t Tell Me How to Die<\/em> is twisty, emotional, and compulsively readable, and I devoured it quickly because I had<\/em> to know what would happen next. I loved<\/em> this book\u2014easily a 5-star read for me!<\/p>\n

Maggie and her sister Lizzie lost their mom at seventeen to a rare blood cancer. Before she died, their mother warned them: women would come for their suddenly single father \u201clike stray cats to an overturned milk truck.\u201d And they did.<\/em> Maggie and Lizzie did their best to keep the casserole-carrying widows at bay\u2014until one woman managed to worm her way in and nearly destroyed their family.<\/p>\n

Now, at 43, Maggie learns she has the same disease. With only months left to live, she\u2019s determined to get ahead of the women who\u2019ll circle her grieving husband\u2014and to find the perfect woman to take her place. The problem? Maggie was voted \u201cMost Likely to Kill Someone to Get What She Wants\u201d in high school\u2026 and she hasn\u2019t lost that edge.<\/p>\n

This story unfolds in three parts (past, present, and part one), and the first half feels more like a raw, heartfelt family drama than the psychological thriller the blurb promises\u2014but that\u2019s what makes it work. The emotional groundwork sets the stage for the twisty, can\u2019t-look-away second half, and once things pick up, I couldn\u2019t turn the pages fast enough.<\/p>\n

This was my first book by Marshall Karp, and now I\u2019m excited to read more\u2014especially his collaborations with James Patterson. Honestly, I can\u2019t believe more people aren\u2019t talking about this book. It\u2019s like if James Patterson and Freida McFadden had a book baby: clever, emotional, gripping, and just the right amount of wild.<\/p>\n

Highly recommend for fans of psychological thrillers with real heart and plenty of curveballs.<\/p>\n
