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.

Not groundbreaking but incredibly enjoyable and actually had me LOLing a few times. A dark story with the perfect amount of comic relief.

I cannot say I recommend this book. I partly enjoyed listening to its narration, relating to the intense and deeply-rooted anger women experience living in a world that has been systematically created to oppress them in multiple facets, but there were various serious subjects that are mentioned or occur in the book that were handled, in my opinion, quite flippantly. Granted, that flippancy and cynicism was part of the main character's personal traits, but it still felt unsettling to hear such a callous perspective at times. I simply would have preferred that these significant subjects be addressed differently.
