Does anybody have any recs for these 3 requests:
1. Books centered around toxic female friendships/relationships. (Kind of like the movie Jennifer’s Body or Thirteen)
2. Books with unlikeable characters (Gillian Flynn-esque)
3. Books with similar vibes to Ethel Cain’s music (dark southern gothic setting with religious undertones)

None of these hit all 3, but…
Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead
The Lion’s Den by Katherine St. John
If We Were Villains by ML Rio
None of this is True by Lisa Jewell
The Chateau by Jaclyn Goldis
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi in particular is a fantastic toxic female friendship!!
[Conversations with Friends](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32187419) by Sally Rooney is 1 & 2
For one and two, I recommend Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. I’m always I don’t really know any books which match the first two as well as the third.
If you’re open to historical fiction, you might like [‘The Whispering Muse’](https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-whispering-muse/laura-purcell/9781526661814) by Laura Purcell 🙂
