like,,,, OKAAAYYYY good for her!

i’ve sat on this review for days now bc I didn’t really know if I wanted to expand it or not. I really enjoyed this. i loved the incredibly satirical tone of the writing and 100% feel like my enjoyment of it was influenced by the audiobook. the narrator, Stefanie Kay, did a wonderful job of conveying how sarcastic it really is. Picklesimer did a lovely job of really conveying Tiffany’s indifference to her life and the people around her. while some may consider the characters to be shallow, i think that was the point. Tiffany, our jaded 5th year Delta Gamma sorority sister, clearly didn’t care about any of the people around her. it’s all about clout for her, she just wanted the glory and honestly, good for her! one of the critiques i’ve seen for this book is that Tiffany’s actions really didn’t mean much for society as a whole and like, obviously? she didn’t care about changing the world, she just wanted to get off lmao. male serial killers rarely ever need a reason, why should she? overall, this was just good fun. i would recommend if you’re looking for a good ole unserious man killer book. i especially recommend the audiobook if you do decide to pick this up!! truly makes it more fun!

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.

savvylit's review

I just was not interested in this book and its premise. It reminded me too much of Boy Parts by Eliza Clark. But the main character was even worse somehow. This was meant to be satire but it was just kind of silly and cliched.
