This book is not for everybody and the main character is a narcissist woman but you may have a soft spot for her because she is funny. Anyways, I was so mad at her towards the ending but I have zero problems with cannibalism in fiction. The book is funny and simple and I loved the foods descriptions.

I was spellbound by this book! It would have been 5 stars, but the body horror was a little too much for me.

This book made me wish I was better at cooking, in a really weird way. There is something very novel in reading the thoughts and emotions of a female serial killer.

it honestly took me a while to get into, the first day i got it i was struggling to read the first chapter because i wasn’t expecting the writing style but after i got past it it was such a page turner! couldn’t put it down! it was so uncomfortably descriptive it made it easy to put yourself in her world even though you wouldn’t want to. definitely one worth reading but not if you have a weak stomach
