it was an okay read but I feel like the majority of people will think this book is too pretentious so for that I don't really recommend it. It was a good time though

Such a fascinating book on weaponizing gender norms. The writing was superb! I loved the culinary themes in the book, it adds a certain sophistication to Dolores’ murderous actions that makes me almost admire this baddie of a woman.
