What's Wrong with Valerie? by D.A. Fowler (1991)
4 out of 5 stars
This was such a fun ride! Valerie has been taking care of her ailing grandmother for the past few years and after her death she has inherited her house and money. As Valerie tries to pursue her dream of becoming a writer she starts to dream about monsters and see the ghosts of her dead relatives. Is this all really happening or is it all in her head?
Fowler's writing is really unique and I absolutely loved her style. It grabbed me from page one and had me hooked. I feel like the story did plateau at some point later on in the book but it was still really enjoyable and what a great ending. It's very darkly witty and the unhinged Valerie is a treat to read about. Just when you think she's gone too far she goes even further. I'd definitely be interested in reading the sequel if I can get my hands on a copy!
