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.

Bridges Book Club pick. Such utter trash, I cannot spend any more time on it apart from to say it needs every content warning available. This is not a feminist book. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks this sort of Made in Chelsea vacuous nonsense is worthwhile. I feel sorry for anyone who follows influencers.

Started this book at 1 a.m. during my exam weeks. Huge mistake! Couldn‘t put it down and actually spoiled myself as to who the stalker was to even go to sleep. Needless to say I basically finished the book in a day. The characters are not really loveable but oddly charming and the dark humour was right up my alley.

I‘m really glad Kitty doesn’t get caught

 Check the TWs because this has A LOT 
If I read the blurb for this at all on NetGalley, I'd forgotten it by the time I started this. What I got was a funny, feminist novel about a serial killer that was sometimes very heavy and emotional but was also such a thrill to read. 

It’s been a while since I watched Made in Chelsea but that toxic dynamic in Kitty’s friendship was obvious early on and I thought the note from Katy at the end that it was inspired after watching it and thinking what would happen if one of them killed their cheating exes was perfect. 

It was full of twists and drama and I found it very unpredictable. Perfect for people who loved Promising Young Woman or the Mindfuck Series.
