About this listen

From the Booker Prize longlisted author of The Wall, comes his first novel in eight years.

What if the year's most talked about TV show was all about your marriage?

Kate, 30 years into her marriage, has a seemingly idyllic metropolitan, North London life.

Phoebe, a young screenwriter, is the creator of the year's hit TV show, Cheating.

When Kate's world takes a darker turn, she thinks she sees details and intimacies in the show that only she and her husband Jack could possibly have known. But who has betrayed who? Who gets to tell whose story?

A black comedy of resentment and entitlement, Look What You Made Me Do is the story of two very different women from two very different generations, heading toward a battle only one of them can win.

Eight years in the making but worth it. A very clever plot which builds slowly like a good detective story offering you clues. Not an endearing set of characters but so well portrayed through first person reported thinking. Listened to it far too quickly. enjoy Jack's diatribe on chefs made me laugh out loud but maybe I just needed someone who agreed with me and could voice my views so beautifully.
Clever and enjoyable. Two narrators the right choice..

I could see it working as a TV drama to be scheduled - ironically enough - on Netflix. It kept my attention alive which is not a mean feat for any book these days. On the other hand, it disappointed me big way! It promises, but it never delivers. I couldn’t in all honesty care about any of its characters - I was expecting a sort of redemption that never came!

Beautifully performed

Totally engrossing thriller, cleverly written, well portrayed, believable. I liked the narration and will be looking forward to more.

Gripping, twisted, clever....

I loved this. Binge listened so it was over far too soon. Particularly adored the first chapter in which Phoebe describes her mother, The author cleverly shifts our evaluation of the different protagonists until we (I, anyway) disliked most of them equally. Poor Tony though.

Very cleverly constructed

An enjoyable and mischievous London set satirical revenge tragedy; humorous, clever and dark. A recommended listen.
