only really got interesting towards the end, could’ve done with a bit more exploration into her thoughts after killing her victims; sure she’s

desensitised from killing her dad and almost killing her ex

as well as the meat farm whatever but it felt like a very lazy plot mechanism - surely she wouldn’t have just no reaction at all or even no worries or trepidation at going out to kill another immediately after. the stalker was also not utilised enough for me, felt very thrown in at random points. 

good premise and quick / easy read but there’s other books/films that have done it a lot better with more nuance
