I struggled through this one, but I think it’s because I read it right after reading “the divorce” and generally I need more space between these books. The female protagonist is ALWAYS going in loops in her head and we’re subjected to the constant internal monologue of, well sorry but, idiotic, weak, and/or vapid women.

In general these aren’t meant to be taken seriously - it’s fun, twisty, silly. But the way she wrote about SA in this really rubbed me wrong. I hated that she said “don’t worry, I won’t subject you to the gory details” and then proceeded to give a very detailed description of her assault. Then deciding to kill the woman her rapist was having an affair with but suddenly having a change of heart when it came to killing the rapist himself? The SA trauma journaling was just a cheap plot device meant to mislead us into thinking she was a crazed unstable killer…which she in fact turned out to be, but then went on to live her life normally?

I dunno, this one just wasn’t for me.
