Tfw you're homicidal and you think your bestie is also homicidal so you show him some guys you killed for him and he freaks out so you gotta kill him too. RIP the psychiatrist interviewing this girl.
The older siblings in this novel are bringing us down as a group.

i support women's rights but more importantly, i support women's wrongs. good premise for a story. nice plot twist. could do with more characterisation for the first-person character, as well as other side characters too. a couple more rounds of editing to tie up some loose details could improve the pacing. but overall, it's a nice read. it leaves you in this specific state of mind like you're stuck in mid-day heat but still feel cold knowing you're shit-fucked lonely.
