5.0

Finished this book in 3 days - I just couldn't put it down. The author's prose is so stylistic yet extremely intelligent, which lends itself to Ani's writing career (making it that much more believable). Getting to know Ani was like an onion, and I don't think I even liked her at first. But after learning her tragic story, I was definitely rooting for this main character to defy the odds in the end.

(Wayyyy better than the movie.)

CW: The main character talks obsessively about her body as well as others, and could be triggering for someone with an ED. Also discusses sexual assault, suicide and mass shootings.

I have mixed feelings on this one - 3 stars seems too low, 4 stars seems to high, 3.5 still doesn’t seem right 😂
The writing here, I feel, is really solid. The narrative of bad things sometimes also happen to bad people is an interesting take - the protagonist here is an insufferable sociopath, she has very little redeemable qualities and everything she does/says makes you not want to root for her. But, at the end of the day, her trauma is STAGGERING. At what point does it become understandable that you’re a terrible person when so many horrible, unfathomable things have happened to you? For me, this is more of a character study than a thriller. Goes without saying that there are many, many trigger warnings here. Many reviews have said this is like Walmart Gone Girl and I think that’s probably selling it a bit short and doing a disservice to the book, since Gone Girl is a dark and twisted thriller through and through, which this is not.
