clarissaosnes 's review for:
Maeve Fly
by C.J. Leede
Look, as much as I wanted to love Maeve Fly, I only liked it. The mistake here is to compare this C. J. Leede story to Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho, because then my expectations were through the roof and I was ready to feel sick to my stomach 70% of the book.
For some god forsaken reason that didn't happen. There's absolutely scenes that made me cross my legs and grimace hard, but the same gory shock value of American Psycho just isn't there. Maeve Fly is almost... the quiet kindred spirit of Patrick Bateman without his obnoxious self obsession. (read the book and wait for the final plot twist. You'll se what I mean.)
It was a fun read, if you're looking to step into the "unhinged female antagonist" and "what the f*ck was that" genre, Maeve Fly could give you a good start!
