Synopsis

I do love my husband. To death. I love him so much that I’ve waited a whole year (minus one day) for Killing Kurtis Day to arrive. Tomorrow it will finally be here and I’m giddy with anticipation. 

Don’t judge me, you don’t know the whole story. I reckon if you were in my shoes, you’d kill your husband, too.

Review

   When I began this book, I of course read the blurb, so I didn’t go into this blind. I did know that this would be a dark book. It was a very disturbing book to read, it was very raw and beautifully organized. It was equivalent to a crazy, intense, LifeTime movie, if I had to categorize it. I was completely blown away. I can’t say that I was speechless, well, because after completing the book, I asked myself: What the hell did I just read? And that response is not to be taken negatively. When I finished the book, my mind was blown. I went back and read passages again.  I found myself thinking about the book on my drive to work and even blabbed my mom’s ear off on the way from the airport. When I began the book, I worried I was going to be overwhelmed with too many flashbacks. And that my mommy brain wouldn’t keep up. But as the words continued on the page, I was able to follow with ease. I anticipated every chapter, every nugget of information. I had to hold on, I felt the author made every word and phrase in this book with a purpose. And the emotions, the rage, the love, just made me enjoy this book more. I thought I had the book figured out, which is a bad habit of mine, but I did not see what came and sat in my lap. Charlene, did everything in her right mind, to gain a Hollywood career. It was embedded in her mind that she is Charlie Wilber’s Daughter and she is definitely going to be somebody! This girl was told this hundreds upon hundreds of times. Yet it was that influential moment from her father, that paved the way for money, fame, lies and death. Saying I loved this book does not do it justice! So I will mic drop right now, ending this 5 smooches review with “Nothing but the best for Charlie Wilber’s Daughter”.
