4.0
The main element that turns the tropes of the micro-genre into something fresh is that Geeta actively wants no part in these murders. She is not the typical man-killing mentor that the trope usually calls for, which makes for a unique plot and some amusing shenanigans. At the same time, the book does not hide the pervasive and severe misogyny these women live through, but strikes a delicate balance between acknowledging these genuinely horrifying events with the persistence of daily life.
A surpsingly fun read.

Moderate: Alcoholism, Child death, Gore, Gun violence, Infertility, Sexual violence, Blood, and Classism
Minor: Body shaming, Bullying, Miscarriage, Rape, Sexual content, and Death of parent
While graphic elements such as child rape and brutal killings are mentioned quite a few times, it is always brief and without detail.
