I loved the writing, the dark humor of the thoroughly unlikable main character kept me hooked.
The plot twist at the end is the only reason I didn‘t give it five stars. I feel like there would have been better ways to show Grace wasn‘t as smart as she thought than a random stalker brother. The sudden new narrator having a big reveal just felt jarring.

I am not going to talk a lot about the summary of this book but just to give a very small brief; We have a female protagonist who has set out to take revenge from her family for what happened to her mother.
1. The book is written in first person POV and it’s amazing. IDK how the author has managed to get into the head of a person that is reserved, is controlled while showing or feeling any kind of emotion. It takes a good author to keep this crazy amount of balance between revealing just the right amount of information yet maintaining the consistency in character of the protagonist.
2. Does anyone else like it when other authors are name dropped in books? Like the 4th wall shattering, awesome.
3. I also love it when other book suggestions are given as a part of the plot.
4. Each chapter keeps you hooked. The female lead makes you wanna keep walking with her while she’s taking these really calculated steps and executing her plans to perfection.
Now, that was all the Yays about the book. Onto the Naahs now.
1. The protagonist is toxic in some ways where she tries to push away a possible love interest because she wanted to act on this revenge before she focused on her love life and expected that person to be available when she's all done. And it kinda got on my nerves a bit because like why are you expecting a person to wait for you for an indefinite amount of time when they don't even know why they're waiting.
2. The last 20% of the book was a whole weird 360 degree, a plot twist that was just… IDK it made me go Whaaa!!! and the last three chapters felt oddly structured. I mean, the events were out of place and that’s one of the reasons I have taken away 3 points.
3. Going to take away 7 points because I didn’t like the way the book ended. I don’t wanna give a reason yet because it's a spoiler.

Loved it, until the last few chapters when it deteriorated.
