This was fine. Cool concept. Kind of lost interest and felt not much after, but still liked reading. I am so scared of children.

first of all, there’s a throwaway line in the beginning of the book that is so fucking transphobic & yes, I recognize this was published in 2008 but it’s not okay & could EASILY BE TAKEN OUT! 💔😬
Anyway, I just re read this via the audiobook for the first time in years and yooooooooooooooo I forgot how fucking dark this book is. It’s hard to grapple with as a millennial who has grown up with news of so many tragic and traumatic local and world events, but overall, a captivating read & so many twists & turns.
The six chapters are very long, because all of them take you through different monologues from various narrators. Describing them to you would spoil the book so just read it!
Lastly, the vibe for this book is pretty much “fuck them kids!!!!!”

Every chapter felt like a slap in the face in the best way possible. It is absolutely like Camus meets Heathers, filled with characters who are shitty but you can’t help kind of rooting for?
The revenge is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s a really interesting tale about cycles of abuse and grief, and how revenge isn’t always the answer but sometimes does make you feel better.
A really satisfying read.
