I liked this book, but it was kind of confusing and once I figured things out I wanted to go back and read what I had already read, but it took me so long to get through the book I didn’t.

It’s a cool concept for a book, just wasn’t my favorite.

Spoiler

essentially a retelling of The Talented Mr. Ripley, except in reverse order - time moves backwards to get at the core of who the main character has always been, which hasn't changed. i enjoyed it and liked that it allowed for such a messed up woman main character <3 some of its takes on womanhood felt kind of tepid, almost like it didn't go very far with the ideas of feminism that it set up early on, but it did get at something with "women should rip and tear and kill". well done, especially the unreliable narration. chef's kiss
