This was entertaining but I definitely thought it was going to have more feminist notes. Instead this was full of girl on girl hate, eating disorders, and murders for no reason.

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss!
This book was right up my alley in terms of entertainment! It had so many elements of books I have liked in the past, like American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Boy Parts by Eliza Clark. Sometimes it is just really fun to watch an absolutely unhinged person do crazy things. I also liked the element of Tiffany being the "perfect" girl on the outside, and using that to her advantage. It is basically like weaponized femininity. I loved how she got such a god complex throughout, really thinking that she is untouchable. And the narrative supports this, because she doesn't even come close to being caught once. I loved how gory it was, and the ending was unexpected in a good way. Also screw like every guy in this book. Honestly the men in this book are portrayed as so awful that the reader starts to be on Tiffany's side. I also just love how shallow she is throughout the entire book. The part about her hiding makeup around Weston's house and setting alarms to wake up early so she can get ready before he gets up was so bonkers but fit with her character completely.
Listened to on Libby.
