Roxy Carter spent twenty years trying to become a better woman.
She left a London council estate for the Devon coast, determined to escape the chaos of her younger years and give her son a different life. She built a marriage, fought desperately for the twin girls she adored, and learned to swallow disappointment because being good was supposed to mean something.
Then everything starts falling apart.
Her teenage son spirals into drugs, crime and violence. Her family refuses to help. A painful neurological condition leaves her fighting her own body. And the one person she still trusts - her husband of ten years - is caught cheating with a nurse from the hospital treating her.
That betrayal changes something in Roxy.
She has spent years blaming herself for every bad thing that happened to her. Years wondering if this was karma for the woman she used to be.
Now she has a different question.
What if karma needs a little help?
Roxy isn't going to scream. She isn't going to beg. And she isn't going to forgive.
She understands money. She understands lies. She understands weakness.
And she has only one rule:
She never hurts the innocent.
But everyone who knowingly hurt her is about to discover that being taken for an idiot has consequences.
Dark, addictive and wickedly funny, I Tried Being Nice is a psychological crime thriller about betrayal, motherhood, rage and the moment a woman finally decides she has had enough.
