Pretty good stuff. The internal workings of a female psychopathic murderer. Perhaps she was too relatable as a character, but then if you made her a true psychopath, she might be beyond the pale of becoming an interesting character. I saw this called the “female American Psycho” but I think that comparison is a bit off; American Psycho was more of an indictment of society and a type of lifestyle it supported whereas this was much more of a character-driven narrative. But certainly an entertaining read.

That book was insane.

The combination of unhinged women with the incredible descriptions about food make this book a delight to read. It's one of the best books I have read that captures the absolute insanity of womanhood and being a women in a society that doesn't suspect you.

Also an insane true crime fiction book!

I finally finished this book. God was this a book I struggled to finish. This just didn’t flow as well as I thought.

Don’t get me wrong the story was ok but the last 100 pages took me a while. This story, the words written didn’t flow right. Going from third person, to the story, to explain ging why your in prison.

Let’s say a book I will never read again.
