I gave this book a high rating because it definitely made me feel the way it was supposed to make a person feel. I will hopefully never have to read it again. The movie is one of my favorite gore fests so of course I’m going to read the book, never again. It had me wanting to shake these women, even being rich, stuck up, pointless people, whhhhyyy are you letting this boring fashionista pig talk to you like that??
