5.0

This is one of the most clever books I’ve ever read. If you think you already know it from the movie, you don’t. I was pleasantly surprised by both the complexity of the characters and the way this book constructs a world informed by patriarchy and misogyny. There are no certainties in this book, and that’s what makes it incredible.

This is the definition of “I support women’s rights, but more importantly I support woman’s WRONGS”! The ultimate thriller with twists that are shocking and constant. A must read for anyone into true crime and powerful women.
