I read this book 100% because of the title, and no regrets! This book is, woo, it's somethin.

It's a short book, actually a collection of short stories centering around the main character. I'm not sure what I was expecting with this one, but it definitely took me for a wild ride. The moment it took a turn, it completely threw me, and it was non-stop wtf from there.

I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator's voice but it did work well with the story. 

I'm still angry she got away with every single murder! I was looking forward to her finally getting caught in the final story but then she didn't and I wanted to flip a table, aha.
