Despite all the very heavy content warnings, I am a big fan of the violence in the novel. 5 stars from me loljenlengland's review

My Thoughts:
You know, for years I've putting off reading thrillers because I thought they "weren't my thing". I have no idea why though because I had a blast reading this.
The plot twists were maybe a bit predictable but still fun and the ending was so satisfying. 10/10. No notes. The romance also have me giggling and kicking my feet a little ngl.
The rest of the author's books are immediately going on my TBR, especially with her bio saying she "writes dark, dramatic stories that support women’s rights—and also women’s wrongs". Sign me up.

This is the kind of book that's so good, you're gonna be on a reading slump after &will forever chase that high.
Listening/reading to the audio version of this book was immaculate. It for sure elevated the reading experience so much it’s on an entirely different level. The two narrators did so well, I didn’t want to press pause ever. They were excellent in conveying the dialogues and everything else as well, it grants a fully immersive experience, it’s like I’m there with “the both of them”. Though for the “angry feminists” with actual anger issues, be careful, as you might get carried away (because I for sure did).
For the review of the actual book itself,
That was a long one, but long story short, this is an actual (and not the oversexualized version) of a badass woman. 10/10 would read again and recommend the book to everyone asking why I chose the bear over the men.
