funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I listened to the audio book and I liked it well enough. I related to Korede a lot. If you are only interested in the serial killer aspect to the story then this book may not be for you. But if you are interested in the relationship that sisters share with eachother or siblings share with each other then I would recommend it.
