Wasn’t crazy about her writing style, but the story is intriguing. Not sure if it’s because I went into this first read through sort of knowing what happened, but I found the ending to be slightly anticlimactic.

Very flippant mentions of rape, but the point is that she’s not a “good” “person” so her flippant descriptions and allegations of rape, stalking, abuse make sense for her character.
