Loved this book so much! I really enjoyed Jane as a narrator; how cold and logical she could be, intermixed with her dry humour. She’s a fascinating character, a queen, and honestly the best kind of sociopath.

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 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.
