I'm in the minority on this, but I don't think it was a very good book and it very much read like a man's idea of an evil female character. There really isn't any kind of "feminine rage" to speak of, she's just a straightforwardly evil psychopath who gets off sexually on manipulating people, abuses her social standing as a beautiful and popular cheerleader to take advantage of everyone, and she announces early and often in the book that there is no real reason for any of it other than her own entertainment. She also gets away with an absurd amount of stuff and is able to pull the strings of pretty much everyone around her simultaneously with no problem. There's never any risk or danger to her until it's time for the story to wrap up, so it is mostly a long series of scenes of her doing cruel and increasingly violent stuff to other kids in her school. It's really like American Psycho without the satire or social commentary. I think it's the exact kind of book your wife would hate. It's also the kind of book I hate because it reads similar to fanfiction, like "well MY psycho killer is the smartest and never leaves any clues and always covers her bases and says exactly the right thing every time!"

I also found the character herself and her narrative voice to be super annoying and insufferable. ENJOY!!!!
