jennylo's review

dark lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

Almost a beach read, a very quick and easy read that isn't challenging or complex. I did read it very quickly, not from a huge amount of enjoyment, but from seeing if I guessed the twist correctly (I did, go me). Not an essential read, but again, an easy pallette cleanser if your ok with moderate gore.

This was very graphic so check all triggers before starting. Aside from the obvious plot holes (Kitty would get caught immediately with all that cellphone data) this was a witty and cathartic story. I really liked the audiobook, the narrator captured the characters so well.
