This book just keeps doing the same things over and over, and her narrative voice doesn't change, so it's just really tiring to read this un-pc, fat phobic, agist, condescending, judgemental POV for 450 pages.
She tells so many unnecessary lies, and it's frustratingly ludicrous that she wouldn't get called on them. Especially when she's lying to a journalist - why make up a lie that you could easily disprove with a google search? The book letting the character get away with this undermines the believability of the book overall.
I wanted to like this - it's occasionally funny, and she's mostly hunting rapists and pedophiles so there's a justified revenge element. Ultimately, although it was a quick, easy read, there was nothing memorable here, and it wasn't as funny as it was grating and unrealistic.

If you liked how to kill your family, give this a go as I think it’s better. It’s certainly darker.
It definitely does feel like Bridget Jones’ serial killer diary. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel.
