To go along with the content warnings; there is explicit mention of all of those things, though it is told through a female lens and dealt with quite well; there are infuriating moments that are there purposefully to illustrate examples of very real things that happen to survivors of SA and other violence/abuse

This was such a satisfying revenge thriller! I loved the narrative structure and learning the different connections between the characters. Very fast-paced, switching between two POVs and relatively short chapters with tense endings kept me reading.

I really enjoyed this! It was a quick, easy thriller but had me shocked at SO many page turns. Could hardly put it down after the twist. The bisexual vigilante mankiller story we deserve!
