So I thought this was supposed to be a nice “support women’s wrongs”/“good for her” book, but holy shit she’s just a psychopath. This isn’t even a proper revenge taken too far kind of thing.
She literally murders a guy she finds mugged in an alley? A kind of racist nice guy at school is framed for 4 murders? I feel like she could have just gotten him kicked out of school? She has no remorse for her friends? And then you find out about the tumor and you think that’s why she’s crazy and THEN SHE GOES BACK TO MURDERING. Jesus. Also George sucks and is gross, but isn’t a rapist or abusive or anything? Like just ruin his life. Don’t take it.
