Some people should just get a divorce.

Me at the beginning of part 2: Yes Amy!! Girl boss!! Gaslight harder!! 

Me at the beginning of part 3: I hope Nick actually fucking kills her and then he goes to jail.

Evocative, thrilling, ridiculously clever, sinister. Sharp and complex commentary on feminism, misogyny, generational trauma, heterosexual relationships, sociopathy, familial dynamics, and the media sphere circa 2010. It’s a lot of ground to cover, but somehow this book weaves these threads together deftly into one whole, complete, devastating portrait of mutually assured destruction.
