I found myself loving and loathing Kitty Collins; this book had me giggling to myself, being angry at Kitty, yet also sympathising with her. The book addresses the hard truths of being a woman and, despite putting a positive spin on the serial murder of men, does consider the moral questions of Kitty's actions.
I went into the book expecting slightly more of a thriller and found myself noting that the Thursday Murder Club would have Kitty found out in minutes. I am, however, glad that this wasn't the case as I think that too much police involvement and aftermath would've taken away from the fast paced plot.
I enjoyed how the main character's backstory was gradually explored as the plot progressed in a way that made you understand her actions; but didn't leave the reader feeling as though they were jumping between two separate narratives. The ending had a few unexpected twists and has been left open for a possible second book.

The humor in this book is very dark and dry, but I couldn't help but be amused when some of the kills went a bit... differently than expected. I also kind of looked forward to the killing parts in this book, does this mean I'm a psycho too? Other than the killings there isn't much of a very interesting plot, but because of how ridiculous it was that Kitty got away with the murders and how she performed them I was entertained enough throughout this book anyway.
Besides Kitty there are a number of side characters, but nothing really to write to home about. They were all just kind of boring, as much as you'd expect from influencer friends. None of them had a real personality, but I guess that added to the dryness of this book.
I didn't see the plottwist coming at the end, though it also didn't make me gasp in surprise. It tied up the whole story nicely, and gave some closure...or not?
Definitely would recommend reading this if you're in for a unrealistic, funny yet dark book! It's not for the faint hearted, as some murders are quite explicit and sexual assault is mentioned quite a few times, so be warned if you don't like reading such things.
