This book has altered my personality for the worser. This is my Joker. In all reality, Eliza Clark really made her character’s voice shine through. It was genuinely funny and unique without trying too hard. I’m not even sure I can do the praise I want to give justice. Anyone interested in reading should def know this book deals with horribly dark humor and literal crimes. The protagonist is a ~*horrible person*~ and sometimes that’s #goodforher but most of the time it is absolutely heinous.

This book might’ve had the most unlikable main character i’ve ever encountered. While I can appreciate the way the author unapologetically showcases a psychotic, unhinged, dangerous woman in a way that most books don’t, I don’t think it comes off as progressive & as “girl power” as it could’ve. MC is a horrible person, from borderline pedophilia to assault to outright murder, she really does it all. There was one line along the lines of “I almost killed him, what does it take for me to be seen as a threat?” after MC almost kills a man during “kinky sex” that struck me a bit hard. I suppose this book shows how flippantly female rage & insanity is taken in society, which is why I added the .75 to my rating. MC is twisted, dark & does the most irredeemable things to those around her. The way she treats her so called “best friend” is mind boggling. I truly think the idea of having an unapologetically psychotic woman character is a good one, but it really fell flat for me here. I didn’t find myself caring about the characters nor was I rooting for the MC. Also the amount of pop culture references dragged. The dark cinema being used to show how disgusting she is wasn’t the best way to do it. It read as if the author googled “Dark cinema” & went down the list. TD;LR 
Good idea. Poor execution, extremely unlikable characters.
