Brief notes on this book: It was alright. Maybe it was because I found a lot of hype for this book beforehand that I did not rate this higher. It was intriguing though, and the plot twists caught me slightly off guard (though it was not like I was actively trying to predict the plot). I felt like this was leaning more towards the "kill all men" rhetoric, which isn't necessarily bad, but not the type of feminist book I care for.

CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS!!!!!!!
Fast paced read. I found Carly extremely annoying and pathetic - which I guess is the point. She behaves like a high schooler, not someone in college. Overall story is fine. Unbelievable in parts. Wasn't as good as I was expecting.

Carly was really giving 2012 fanfiction main character with her “i’m not like other girls, no one would find plain old me attractive, i only wear black and Doc Martens” and it was annoying. the first major twist was good but i guessed the later one right away, so after

the halfway mark

the story felt predictable

4.5

Vigilante feminist killer book with some great twists and very well written! I loved this. I love when an author writes an excellent full complex character that you should be rooting against because they are a murderer but then you find yourself rooting for them… 

I like the two different views. I felt the author went seamlessly between Scarlett and Carly . She also starts and ends every chapter excellently which makes the book super propulsive. There are a few things  that are far fetched which is why it’s a 4.5 instead of a 5 but tbh I’m okay with it because of how well written this book was. I loved the feminist feeling, how sexual assualt was handled , and also the lgbtqia rep. I will for sure be checking out more from this author.
