You know what - this actually wasn't bad at all lol. It did take some getting used to the whole absurdity of the situation, but once you embrace the fact that this posh influencer girlie goes around chopping up rapists and sex offenders like she's doing her laundry, it gets quite entertaining.
The writing is very fast paced, which allows for a quick and easygoing read, and as you move along the story, puzzle pieces about the protagonist's past fall into place and things just get decidedly more unhinged. It was a bit too over the top sometimes, though. Plus, most of the plot consists of how she finds and kills her victims, which only barely managed to avoid getting tedious. Some details were rushed, some a bit random, but all in all, it was good.
Anyway, I liked the story once I accepted it for what it was. It was refreshingly unhinged and VERY soothing for my vengeful little man-hater heart.
