Although I could see the very obvious points the author was making about monsters with money rarely getting justice, it just seemed unoriginal and a very normal take on the world. Inspired I suspect by the #metoo movement, Dexter and any woman’s experience being scared of men. The only likeable character was Charlie though like all characters in this book, he wasn’t given any depth. I felt this book was just trying too hard to be feminist and empowering yet was stating the obvious. The ending about the stalker fell flat and was a poor twist. Was unfortunately rooting for Kitty to get caught or her own comeuppance from one point onwards

🍸 Dark, twisted and hilarious. It had those dark comedy thriller elements that I normally gravitate towards. Loved the pop culture references.
🍸 The plot lacked some originality and often lost its sense of realism. Overall story felt like it was from a TV series. It's obvious these characters aren't people you'd want to hangout with and Katy Brent has perfectly created them to be so toxic.

For those of you who are interested or like this, I would definitely recommend “How To Kill Your Family” for a slightly darker spin!
