This is an enjoyable bit of fluff. Even though it’s quite dark, the unrealistic storyline keeps it from feeling possible, and therefore it isn’t heavy.

Good idea with medium execution. Murders were not planned thoroughly, it was surprising she was never caught. Main character was presented as a rich influencer. Her backstory, which would have made her a little bit more likable, was introductled too late, so unfortunately I already disliked her at that point too much. Kind of liked she made mistakes, but killing the wrong guy just had me screaming: "Do your research beforehand". For a main character who acts like "killing men" is something she does regularly, she seems very unexperienced. Plot twist at the end was okay though.

Absolutely nothing about this worked for me. The humour wasn't funny, the characters had no personality, the plot twist was ridiculous. A lot of it felt like it was written to be quoted on twitter.
