well that was hella twisted but at the same time so well written that i couldnt stop during the last 170 pages
(at the beginning it may have benn a little bit slow but the end made up for it)
loved that there were just a dozen of characters so you couldn't get them confused and all of them at the right amount of screen time (as well as message M which was more dominant at the beginning but played an important role until the end)

I don’t know if I’m just not in the right headspace for this - it’s intense as a subject matter goes and the main character isn’t exactly winning me over

This one was interesting and new ! Definitely a unique read. Giving it a 7.3/10. 

This book is about a woman, Millie, who decides to take vigilante justice against men who have committed crimes against women. It’s written from the first person perspective of Millie which gives it more complexity. This book has some dry humour and moments where I related with/ agreed with Millie’s point of view.  There were definitely some aspects from this book that were satisfying and I felt justice was served, but there were also parts that I felt were unjust as the main character starts to unravel. There are moments of pure twisted behaviour and unfairness that make you cringe and the details are a bit much. 

This book is also fairly unrealistic and I really didn’t enjoy the ending. That being said, it was a fast paced book and easy read with many real societal issues and valid rationale for taking the law into one’s own hands when it comes to those who have committed sexual violence. There is an undertone of the realities of cycles of violence which I appreciated. 

I would recommend this book for a new, creative book but there are definitely some trigger warnings due to topics of sexual assault and graphic murder. Read at your own risk !
