Satire? check!!
Bloody? check!!!
Sexy? Slightly!
This book was a fun short read! It was funny, satirical, bloody, a little gory/gross, very campy, and just a nice time. It’s prime dark comedy. It's like if Patrick in American Psycho was a woman named Tiffany who operated on vibes and vibes alone. I found myself repeatedly being grossed out and thinking wtf multiple times.
Tiffany is a fifth-year student at a Los Angeles college in sorority she doesn't seem to really want to be in and is skating through life because of how rich she is. She had an ED which quickly turned into having a craving for red meat and weight lifting. She had a dysfunctional family who she hates and grew up seeing not so nice things happen in her house. Because of all of this she has this heir of "I'm untouchable" which seems to really work out for her throughout the book.
She doesn't have a lot of redeeming qualities if any and I think the one that stands out the most is being very empathetic towards her roommate (who she says she hates often) after she is r*ped. I found myself being alright with this though because if she had redeeming qualities it wouldn't have been as great a story to me. Tiffany is living in her own world and whatever she wants goes and I honestly love that for her. She’s terrifying, mean, and gorgeous.
I highly enjoyed the turning of the tables the author when the whole vibes of the kills was just "Oh, he had it coming!" What a nice reversal there huh men? I really enjoyed the ending that I will not spoil, but will say just imagine Weird Barbie for a mental image! Haha!
I really recommend this is you were a fan of American Psycho and if you enjoy a campy, bloody, good time!
