This was such a good read. The fact that I ended up loving Ruby Simon thought she did the things she did made me realize I am a huge empath. This was such a great read. Loved the ending. I think the writer did a great job at keeping each chapter the perfect length and keeping me hooked!

I saw this at the library, looked interesting and I liked the cover, then saw the author was one of the executive producers of GLOW so immediately checked it out. This was SO GOOD. I wasn’t able to put it down until I finished it, love a good thriller especially one that talks so much about psychology and human behavior. I look forward to reading Sascha Rothchild’s memoir!

Too many triggers that weren't announced beforehand. Eg underage sex, drugs etc.

Whoa! Have you ever met someone who was a master storyteller and had so much tea to spill that kept you listening for hours and left speechless in utter shock and delight?

That is exactly what author, Sascha Rothschild did in this book as the protagonist begins sharing her unbelievable life story that you need to hear!

Ruby was born into a family of wordsmiths and at 5 she was a precocious gifted child. She saw things and people in black and white and made major life altering decisions for others with her keen analysis. This continues throughout her life, but when she made the unworldly conclusion that she was human and shared this was her husband that is when her nightmare begins and her past analytical mindset choices haunts her behind bars.

You better be getting you that extra large bucket of popcorn before you start reading this one, because once you start you aren’t going to want to stop until the very dirty end.

LOVED IT!!

Blood Sugar was a freaking blast to read. I went into this book expecting an everyday domestic thriller and was so stunned to find that it is essentially an admitted murderer's alarming yet hilarious memoir.

Ruby and Roman are *everything,* chef's kiss, no further notes.
