I nearly DNF'd this at 1/3.
I am glad I didn't but mostly because it just backed up what I was already feeling.
I HATED the main character Grace and not in the "oh yeah, the writer is wanting me to hate her", no just in the "she's annoying, nasty and unbelievably stupid".
I agree with the sentiment this book needed to be edited down. I would also argue, who am I meant to be rooting for? There is no one in this book I want to root for.
Maybe I am being an arse but just nah.
There were some scenes I enjoyed so I have rated it for that but I would rarely recommend this to someone.

This is a favourite this year. I can't believe it took me so long to read this. Harry is probably proof that what goes around comes around. He did have better cards. Hopefully this turns into a series

This was a cool concept for a thriller and I liked how non-serious it was but I just wasn't obsessed with it. There were some scenes I really enjoyed but overall I don't think this'll be a book I'll come back to. I think the main character was a bit all over the place - she's clearly insane but we never really find out why? We know her backstory but that alone doesn't justify her wanting to kill her entire family. I think it would have been interesting to dig a bit deeper into what was actually driving this revenge plot.
An easy read though and definitely a unique story with some satirical moments!

Could not put this book down after the first page. The writing is tremendous, Mackie created the most brilliant anti-hero ever. It made me not want to sleep for days, such a fab read!!
