The Bad Friend by Caroline Kepnes

dark fast-paced

1.5

This was the weakest of all the stories in this collection for me, mostly because it was dark in a way that was unnecessary and in my opinion not well done? 

Why would any women want to may a known rapist especially if the man raped your best friend?


This could have been a good story with just a different kind of twist to it, but as much as I wished it would go into that direction it never did. 

Killing the rapist would have been a nice twist, for example?


As it is, I can’t say I enjoyed any of it. Party because it was unnecessarily sexualized in moments where it was unnecessary to even mention sex at all, the story was too slow and top of fast at the same time and the characters not only completely unlikable but also just horrible and thankfully fictional..

Not a story for me!
