Good book until last quarter. The ending really let it down unfortunately.
Had legs but not quite good enough to stand on its own two feet sadly.

1.0

Easily the worst book I've read this year. With a main character that is equal parts dull and entirely unlikeable, there's just no reason to stay engaged when the entire book is written in her perspective. I bought this book because the premise seemed promising but the amount of unnecessary self-righteous rants about how much Grace hates everything and everyone got unbearable pretty much immediately. After I had to endure 50 pages about frogs I was about ready to tap out, had I not invested a significant amount of energy into getting to this point. The poor excuse for a twist towards the end was only a small light at the end of the unbearably long tunnel. 
Bonus mention for the 2 times I had to read the words "my sex" followed up by an observation about how much our main character hates other women despite calling herself a feminist.

This was loads of fun! The murders were really inventive, and even though it seems a bit controversial from other opinions I've seen, I didn't mind the ending at all. I found Grace a bit frustrating and judgemental at times, and even though there's a reason why she sees the world the way she does, it made my reading experience a bit less enjoyable at times.
