How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy Brent

2.5

fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall pretty boring and didn't deliver what I expected it to. I dislike the idea of it having a conclusion akin to "you don't have to feel rage to want to change things" and essentially damping down the MC's anger at the world which, whilst very misplaced coming from her, was the only relatable thing. It was also very White Saviour Feminism™ which meant that it was a quick and easy read but wholly uninteresting. I didn't get any enjoyment from a rich girl getting away with murder through sheer luck and being rich essentially. The MC was so stupid with her decisions and lack of planning which meant that everything fell flat. Physics apparently doesn't exist in this book. I wouldn't recommend it unless someone wants a very bland book that at points will make their blood boil through the sheer stupidity of the MC.
