This book was very hard to get through, I can’t lie. The writing style was hard for me to follow and I honestly couldn’t wait to be done with it. The ending did leave my jaw on the floor though, I can say that. It’s like it got good in the last 5 pages.

I expected this to be a fun, silly book with maybe some gore, and it was that, but also so much more. I definitely get the female rage obsession now.

This book is dark, humorous, and sometimes very disgusting. Although the main character isn't likable – she's even abhorrent at times – I was absorbed in the story. If you're feeling a lot of frustration and rage, or if you've experienced the horrors of *men* and the *male species*, this book might hit the spot. You also may enjoy this if you're into British humor or if you had a BAD GIRL or drug phase. Reading this book felt a bit like watching a car wreck and not being able to look away. Beware of the trigger warnings! I'm concerned the handling of some topics was possibly rushed, harmful, and problematic (but could also see some of the arguments that it's the point of this book). Perhaps like Rina's substances, I couldn't put it down but also didn't enjoy it all that much.
