The ending is better than the beginning and middle. I didnt find it funny at all - the reviews led me to believe it would be funny.

I freaking loved this! The twists, the turns, even the moderate gore was just enough. I may be biased cause it ended how I wanted, but I do not care. 6 stars! Check the trigger warnings on this one👇🏾

(Un)fortunately, this is not a step by step guide on how to actually kill men and get away with it, but it will fuel your misandry to incredible heights. 
The actual murders are not realistically covered up

Spoiler

your phone can still trace your whereabouts even if you turn your data off, and posting an instagram post still links to a certain location….. but details, details

But it was a classic man-hating read that I enjoyed.
