Comments on weight aside, i really disliked the main character, again i'm aware serial killer who is murdering her family isn't a fun and loveable character, but i still just really disliked her, i was not in any way rooting for her and found her constant complaining and excessive judgement of everyone incredibly irritating. I felt bad for her unfair start in life but i still was not on her side at any point of the story.
I will say i love the idea and whole concept of murdering and getting away with it only to be caught and arrested for a crime you are completely innocent of committing. But for me i found the main character's personality and attitude ruined my enjoyment of the book.
It is not a "bad" book by any means, it's just very much not for me, which is a shame as i was really looking forward to reading and enjoying this book.

While I hoped to see her face some tough challenges while carrying out the plans, there wasn't much or any that feels important anyway, to the detriment of character development. And it became a little toilsome after a good seven chapters or so. There are many strong instances of wonderful writing, yet the storytelling aspect could need some trimmings here and there, such as mentions of irrelevant passers-by (which feature a lot but barely contribute to the story nor the main character).
Overall, it was such a ride. Wickedly funny. And fucking maddening (fuck the patriarchy). I hope there will be a sequel.
