Dexter meets You meet vapid, self obsessed influencer. I stuck with it to get to her ultimate motivation and was bummed with the let down. Once you knew dad wasn’t dead… you basically knew what happened. The stalker was also predictable. It wasn’t the one of the two that I was thinking it was the most…. So it wasn’t kind of a let down…. Though the stalker was still murdered by Kitty… so at least that followed the exact format I was expecting.

Entertaining and almost cathartic but wholly unbelievable. This book is kind of like trashy tv. I shouldn’t have liked it… but I did.

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.

 I honestly didn't think I was going to get as into it as I did. The story is fairly entertaining, and I didn't see the plot twist coming towards the end. I have to admit that it was quite satisfying. I love the underlying critique of influencer culture and how rotten it is, as well as the social critique of the high class. However, at the same time, I feel like it was a bit too easy for her to get away with it. I was expecting a little more tension and a bit more thrill from her getting close to being caught. The ending was satisfying, although she is going to need a lot of therapy. If thrillers and slashers are your thing, you might really enjoy it. It does touch on topics that might be upsetting to some, such as sexual assault, domestic abuse, sexual harassment, murder (obviously), eating disorders, and depression.
