This book had so much potential but just didn't execute on it. The reasoning and execution of the murders were so weird, like she kills a guy for being a fuck boy who didn't want her to look through his phone, wtf? Was he a little bitch? Yes. Did he deserve to die? No. And then her covering up of it was absolutely horrible. All the references to social media and modern slang just rubbed me the wrong way, I just don't like it in books and I should have checked the description first honestly. But the concept was really intriguing, it just felt like a poorly executed attempt at the "promising young woman" movie with little success.
this book left me confused?
first of all, TW!!!
the callousness with which the heavier topics were treated was astonishing. i agree that ED almost being portrayed as a personality quirk was very on brand for their group of friends - rich, spoiled influencers but when it came to SA, I didn’t like how it was almost brushed over especially in the end.
the book started off good, kept me engaged but i lost my interest in the plot somewhere in the middle & the end was almost comical and too unrealistic, not to mention very contradictory in nature becausewhy did Hen have to lie to convince Kitty to kill James when that’s the reason why she was there in the first place??? As I said, the book left me confused.
summary: okay-ish plot with the worst characters!
