Bookworm: A Novel

Victoria is stuck in the routine of a dysfunctional marriage with an airtight prenup and family expectations locking her in place. But one day she spots a man at her go-to cafe reading the same awful book as her (unnamed, but fairly well known) and she begins to fantasize about the various ways she could rid herself of her husband so that she can chase her happily-ever-after with this stranger. And some of the fantasies are a little too tempting.

I would say that all of the characters minus Luke were unlikeable, which surprisingly works perfectly for this book. And despite not being likeable it's easy to root for the MC as she slowly sets her plans into action (or inaction for some). It's a slow build and while the ending didn't disappoint it could have used an extra chapter in the resolution, a little extra time to unpack what happened.
