This is me supporting women’s rights and wrongs.
I really enjoyed Jane as a narrator, how cold and logical she could be intermixed with her dry humor. She’s a fascinating character and honestly I see parts of myself in her, which is probably why I loved her so much.
I wanted that loser Steven to kill himself, and despite him not doing that I was still satisfied by what he was served.

I was expecting this to be a thriller. I guess you could say that, but it's more of a revenge story, a slow one, and we weren't sure what will we get. Is it murder? Is it something else?
I appreciate the concept and intention, but I hope it could have more action or suspense, and/or have something more in the writing. I like the sarcastic tone, but I was hoping for more. More of what, I don't really know.
Oh, I finally read this because someone said that the main character is very like Eleanor Oliphant (from Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine), and after reading this, I get why it seems like that, but Jane is way more high functioning than Eleanor.
