This book contains 4 novellas/short stories and so it's hard to rate the book as whole, so let's break it down.

1922: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Big Driver: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fair Extension: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Good Marriage: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I gave the book 5 stars overall and 3 of the 4 stories got 5s from me too. The only one I gave a 4 to was Big Driver. It was the longest of the bunch, dragged a tiny bit in the middle, and the ending was a kind of sad I don't like, true to life, but sad. 

The other three were all five stars in my opinion. This book has a LOT of difficult subject matter, so be sure to check content warnings before reading if you have any specific triggers.

The stories were all pretty good, some better than others. They were all very realistic ways people could resort to murder. Some stories dealt with difficult themes so I would recommend reading the trigger warnings.

What I got from these novellas is:
Male revenge/justice is evil, amoral and cruel while female revenge/justice is warranted, girlboss, valid. Couldnt agree more
