Whatever You Love by Louise Doughty

After a nine-year-old girl is killed in a hit-and-run, her mother is consumed by grief that hardens into obsession and a hunger for revenge. Fixated on the suspected driver and haunted by the passionate affair and painful breakup with the child’s father, she revisits the past even as she edges toward dangerous choices in the present. The story interweaves memory and aftermath to explore how loss distorts love, judgment, and morality, culminating in a tense reckoning with the consequences of retaliation.
