Kitty reminded me of Joe Goldberg in the way that I just could not stop rooting for her despite knowing what she did... Joe's story was better though, as he took care of the loose ends; this story didn't even acknowledge many of the mistakes I found Kitty doing

like the police never tracked people's phones etc.

Overall a funny story, and very lighthearted considering the topic.

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.

You could hurtle through this book, with the short chapters and fast pace. I had so many questions and theories flying around my head as I read. I wanted to see how the title would come to pass.

not convinced she would have got away with it in reality.

It has a dark humour, and an unlikeable main character who you also couldn't help rooting for. It reminded me of How To Kill Your Family in that respect, so if you are a fan of that book then I think you will love this. I was laughing out loud at points and annoying those in the same room as me by repeating lines out of context.

I think the ending was a bit rushed, and I would have liked a few more pages, but I guess I'm just being greedy.
