Very easy to read, simple writing but the plot twists were obvious, and any attempts at foreshadowing were so heavy-handed that they let slip the twists 100 pages in advance. Secondary characters (Maisie, Tor, Hen etc) *barely* fleshed out, clearly there as plot points, not characters.

Worst part for me was creating a seemingly *feminist* satirical book (a woman turning the tables and killing the men who raped and sexually assaulted them!) and executing it so badly that it *reinforced* the patriarchy -
by focussing almost Kitty's entire character development (and half the book!) on the male love interest?!?!
 
Overall very light, easy read, finished in 3 days, probably wouldn't recommend as anything other than a quick holiday read.

The book starts out fun, but it gets more and more frustrating and unrealistic.

this was a fun and easy read that helped me out of a reading slump. it was fast paced with lots of loop holes but was still enjoyable. i would have enjoyed a bit more character development after FMC met her love interest.
