Undone by Cat Clarke

4.5 stars
If you want a book that truly messes with your head.... If you want a book that has great characters who are gritty and real.... If you want a book that compels you to read it in one sitting... then this book is for you. I must in good conscience say that the book is full of foul language and sex. And typically I don't read books like that or even like them, but this book pulled me in and wouldn't let go. Cat Clarke clearly has a lot of talent, and I really enjoyed reading a book that delves so deeply in the psychological realm with her characters. There aren't any flat people in this book. They are all well-fleshed out characters, and I guarantee that you won't know which one to side with. Even the main character at times is questionable in her likeability. This is a study in the psychology of revenge as well. It shows the dark side of getting even. Clarke writes with a near clairvoyant sense into the inner workings of people's thoughts and actions. I will be seeking out other books by her. I am happy this is a stand alone novel, and it truly ended the only way it could have ended. Not saying I liked the ending - just saying I understand.

This book releases on May 6th, but I would really only recommend it to mature readers due to the language and sex.
