Vicki Beautiful by Somer Canon is a tale of perfection, friendship, and just how far one will go for a friend’s last wishes.

Content Warning:
Cancer, Suicide

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Vicki Beautiful by Somer Canon

Attending an extravagant birthday dinner and overnight for their friend Vicki, Sasha and Brynn immediately notice that something is wrong shortly after arriving at Vicki’s perfect home. Giving their friend space, the women and their husbands share a beautiful dinner. Her picture-perfect facade begins to crack under the pressure of the news that she must share with her friends; her cancer is back, but this time it’s a death sentence.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, that’s not the only bomb Vicki is about to drop on them…

When they find out that she had killed herself during the night, they are also handed letters she had written to each of them, asking for one last perfect thing. But will this push the friends over the edge?

Oh gosh, the unease that the main character picked up on when she first entered the house made me uneasy! Things only got more and more intense from there!

I loved the journey I went on with my emotions while reading this. At the start, I was in awe of and even a bit jealous of their long friendships! But once the big ask was made, I was furious and immediately dispised Vicki. I couldn’t wait to see how the characters would react!

My Favorite Passage from Vicki Beautiful 

I was about to highlight many other passages, but they were all spoilers! So I have just this one –

It was a delicate happiness and it was easy to break. 

My Final Thoughts on Vicki Beautiful

A must-read for horror fans! This one will have you feeling all kinds of emotions while the situation in the story continues to get more and more disturbed.

And a word of caution, don’t read this while eating!
