Tampa does a great job showing the realities of female predators, and how their gender and looks can make them go about their ways completely unseen, and once they’re caught, getting lighter punishments purely because they’re women. This was horrific and hard to read, but I also think really important.
The writing was impeccable, and the portrayal of an unreliable narrator was done really well.
Please check trigger warnings before reading because this is very dark and explicit

So yeah this is not my favorite novel with a depraved protagonist. Lolita is a better psychological thriller and Boy Parts did the same kind of gender commentary and both are a better read than Tampa.
