Why read it?
1 author picked You Should Have Known as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read this novel when it came out in 2014, before I even got my own book deal. I was fascinated by the premise: A marriage counselor who had no idea that her own marriage was a sham, and her husband a psychopath. It hit home for sure. I prefer the book to The Undoing, the recent film on which it was based.
From Abby's list on secrets, lies, deception and double lives.
