The Rooftop (Fernanda Trías) is absolutely thrilling.
Great evocation of the protagonist’s sense of reason unravelling….

_Boy Parts_ by Eliza Clark
About a misandrist photographer who is mean to her models and mean to her friends. Really fun book, starts out sorta crazy and continues to escalate until the last page.
_Big Swiss_ by Jen Beagin
A woman is hired to transcribe a therapist’s session recording for him to use in his book. She lives in a fairly small town so she knows the people whose sessions she’s listening to. She ends up becoming fascinating with one of his clients and starts pursuing her. Also a crazy and fun read.
_Motherthing_ by Ainslie Hogarth
Not necessarily unlikeable, but very very unhinged. Sort of horror but more psychological thriller. The main character’s manipulative mother in law commits suicide, her husband takes it really poorly, main character starts losing her mind and you can’t tell how much of what you’re reading is actually happening and what is just in her head.

These are both horror in case you aren’t into that:
Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito
Mary: An Awakening of Terror by Nat Cassidy

You Know Her by Meagan Jennett is amazing. Visceral, captivating writing and a great plot. I couldn’t put it down.

I didn’t know this was a subgenre for lack of a better word. I’m so interested, what is the draw of this? I’ll give one of the recommendations a try soon!
