Overall Thoughts:
⁕ This is a book for those who want an easy, weekend binge read. It's not the masterpiece of the decade by any means, but goodness is it hard to put down.

⁕ Gaylin presents a surprisingly in-depth analysis of anger and revenge in the face of grief. She does not try to entertain forgiveness, rather she explores the reality of taking vengeance to the extreme and the consequences of doing so (bonus points because it's from the perspective of a woman).

⁕ I could not have predicted the ending (which was awesome), but it was very outlandish and a little nonsensical (which was maybe a little less awesome).
