This was a quick read but I loved it. I’ve loved everything I’ve read by this author and I gotta say, the way she was able to cram so much information into so short a story is no simple feat.

Girlboss revenge /pos
Pretty crude, doesn't shy away from a really gross and dark theme.
If you like madeline miller, there's no reason not to pick this up and you can finish it in one sitting. Typical good writing and investing characters.
Kind of hard to make a big impression with so little pages, but when skimming through you can definitely see it's quality.
