Darling, You're Next: A Novel

By Marlee Bush

From the author of When She Was Me comes a dark feminist thriller perfect for fans of Tell Me Lies about a woman who meets the perfect man, only to find out that he might have murdered his ex-girlfriend--and that she might be next

If you aren't bleeding honey, it isn't love.

After the death of her father, Maren never thought she would open herself up to love again. But after a run-in with a handsome stranger that crackles with chemistry, she might not have a choice. And when the same man, Topher Kowalski, shows up a few days later at her grief therapy session, the coincidence begins to feel a whole lot like fate.

But one coincidence soon becomes two, then three, as Maren begins to notice a few too many similarities between herself and Topher's ex, Abby. An ex who died under suspicious circumstances two years ago...

Abby is barely holding herself together. Struggling after a childhood spent in foster care, she is overwhelmed with anxiety attacks and addiction. Then she meets kind, loving Topher, and falls into an irresistible love affair. With him, Abby begins to crawl out of the dark hole she has been stuck in. Until everything changes.

Maren and Abby, two women connected - one in the past, one in the present - by the same love affair. But only one knows the truth.
