Well, I think I can safely say that I absolutely loved this book. Yes it might be a little implausible but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless and it's a great, deliciously dark and twisty debut.

This is one of those books that has you wondering what the heck is going to happen next and then you keep reading it into the night to find out only for another twist to come along or bombshell dropped - I found it hard to put down.

I'm not even going to try and sum up the plot but will say it includes Covid, domestic violence, controlling and coercive behaviour, gaslighting, sex and violence so if this isn't your thing, you might not want to pick this one up.

With great characters, excellent pacing with plenty of tension and twists, this is a book I have no problem recommending and my thanks must go to Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Sweat is a really uncomfortable read (and I really liked that about it!)! I like a book where the characters are unlikeable, and Sweat certainly delivers on that score.

Sweat is set in the present and near past, and tells the story of Cassie, Liam and their thoroughly toxic relationship. It goes to prove that you should always make sure you know all of the details before you pick a side - and to be extra safe, just don’t pick a side at all!

I started out feeling sorry for one character, and ended feeling that they all got precisely what they deserved. The story is really well told to make the reader feel this way. It plays with your emotions, making you believe that Cassie has had a terrible time with Liam’s coercive behaviour and constant gaslighting.

But was Cassie complicit?
Is she any better than Liam?

I wasn’t 100% sure, even at the end!
