Grace's way of telling the events matter of fact displayed her indifference to the hideous acts she committed. Her delivery of her plans and how she thought of the people in her list were unhinged it was funny (an adjective I would never use if my name's listed there, obviously)
There was a part in the book where her mom described young Grace to her father which I liked a lot - it showed the humane side of a killer and it was hard to place where it fits in the current narrative.
I was so angry with how this ended. Grace was MAD but what happened to her felt so unfair and terrible - which is insane to feel too because hello??? She murdered people and yet here I am spewing things about fairness? Andddd - that is how you get me to I like a book 🤷♀️
Only thing was - there were some passages and narrations I thought were too long or unnecessary.

Su historia sigue a Grace quien, desde que empieza este relato, nos cuenta que ha cumplido la meta autoimpuesta de asesinar a miembros de su familia. Mientras nos cuenta cómo, esta protagonista intenta -y algunas veces logra- ser astuta, rencorosa, inteligente y sarcástica; siendo, principalmente, su tono el que sostiene lo gracioso y entretenido de este recorrido.
Sin embargo, considero que esta novela se encuentra con varios problemas a lo largo de su desarrollo. Es un texto bastante largo de más y es esa extensión la que produce que el suspenso ensayado se diluya y, por momentos, tanto la trama como la protagonista pierdan mucho sentido -y ni hablar de verosimilitud-.
La idea central es interesante, aunque realmente esperaba encontrarme con una historia o bastante más entretenida o una tanto más profunda.
Por todo esto, no se me ocurre bien a quien recomendarle este libro. Por otro lado, si buscan obras de ficción que se centren en mujeres complejas cometiendo grandes errores -por no decir crimenes- les recomiendo chusmearse novelas como Big Swiss (del mundo de lo bizarro y lo LGBT), Boy Parts (de lo artístico y oscuro) y Hasta que mueras (de lo argentino y furioso).
