First of all, Amy is based as fuck. You go, girl.
Secondly, the husband is a pathetic loser and a misogynistic coward who is babied by every woman in his life, including his "cool girl" handmaiden sister.
Wish this had ended with Amy fleeing the country and enjoying life in the Mediterranean while her loser husband rots in jail, hated by everyone.
For the book itself, the prose is creative and snappy. The author herself has the uncanny ability to write such awful characters, the book left me sick to my stomach multiple times.
