The title of this book caught my attention. I mean, I think most women can find a bitter amusement at first glance. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I quickly lost amusement and felt like I'd crossed over a morally grey threshold.

I sympathize. Really I do. Self-defense, scorn, what have you. Initially, I could understand where Kitty was coming from. That didn't last long. She became one of the most unlikable and reckless protagonists I've ever encountered. To summarize as quickly as possible, Kitty is an influencer with a hit list and she's vegan (which we hear about repeatedly).

I understand the point the author was aiming for. Women often get a raw deal in life. I just don't think this is the way to get that message across. I thought I had a decent sense of dark humor but I guess not. The further into the book I read the more it unsettled me. My greatest takeaway was the realization that I'm not as desensitized to subjects like murder as I thought I'd become. Lastly, I don't know why this is categorized as a thriller. Crime, yes, but I wasn't the least bit on edge.

A huge thanks to Harper360 for sending me an ARC copy of the book to read and review.

I can't believe how fast I read this book!  I loved it!  It doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should the reader.  Read it, have fun 😊

Sometimes I feel like I carry a lot of rage within my body. Sometimes I feel anger and a mad frenzy at the state of the world. Then I stumbled across miss Kitty Collins in her London apartment and swallowed the story while as fast as I could. 

Darkly comedic, while unpacking real issues and remaining self aware of a privileged protagonist, I severely enjoyed this book and; in the few days it took me to read, have recommended it to anyone with a working pair of ears. 

Loved, truly, loved. 

P.S - don’t let the content warnings scare you, I promise I just added them as a courtesy ✨

If you love Killing Eve and How To Kill  Your Family, How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is definitely going  to be up your street!

Kitty Collins is a rich and privileged influencer leading a perfect life until she discovers a desire to kill. More specifically, to kill men who pose a threat to women taking on a vigilante role.

This is dark. Wittily written, it did make me laugh in a way that made me question whether I should be laughing! It’s a a bit in the gory side  but I thought it was a really entertaining read! 

Inspired by Made in Chelsea and the MeToo movement behind all the glitz, glam and, well - murder, is an observation of the continuing danger men often pose to women.
