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.

It is darkly funny, you feel terrible for laughing. I think it depends what order you read the similar books in to be honest, as you can't help but compare.
There are some very unexpected twists and turns which I loved, my mouth hit the floor on occasion. By the end I was hooked and will read the rest of the series.
The narrator is perfect, so I will stick to audio for the rest of the series too.
