A fast-paced, gripping and gory exploration of female rage in the wake of the #MeToo movement. I didn’t expect to enjoy reading Kitty’s narration as much as I did, because she’s overall a snobbish, entitled and awful person, but there were some witty moments and I rather like an unlikeable protagonist. Parts of the plot were pretty predictable and the ending was cliché but I had a lot of fun with how unhinged the book got.
