This book was a riot. You follow two characters - a college student starting her first year of college and a college English professor who teaches at the same college. And the professor kills men that have assaulted women. The ride that this book took me on was excellent. I listened to it on a road trip with my friend and it was the perfect length.

The narrators were excellent, especially Scarlett's. The just dry, rude, sarcastic thoughts were excellent. I think the pacing was occasionally off, but it was easy to ignore in this sapphic disaster of a book. Honestly, just a fun time with some really interesting thoughts sprinkled in.

This book is so good! Dual perspective two women on the same college campus. Men are trash and they both deal with men differently. There are multiple plot twists in this book. Also this book is queer so love that.

5.0

The first half felt a bit slow, but then a switch flipped and I sped through the rest. Everything after that point was predictable, but in the best way. Knowing where the story was going didn't undermine the tension at all, but increased the need to know how it got there. Absolutely stellar, need more.

As a benchmark, there is a mild secondhand description of a past rape in the first chapter, and the description never really gets more graphic than that.
