It’s not as much like American Psycho as you might expect based on the blurb, but there are similarities. Maeve’s a lot more…sympathetic (I don’t want to say likeable haha) than Patrick Bateman, but they certainly have more than a few things in common.
I wish it was just a bit longer because it wraps up so fast (like unbelievably fast) and the ending feels unresolved, but I assume that was intentional.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Sexual content, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Sexual assault and Terminal illness
It name checks Patrick Bateman in the description so just bear that in mind. Was American Psycho too much for you? Maybe skip this too.
There’s not just sexual content but, like, weird sex stuff and there’s no tag for that so I’m telling you here. There’s this whole thing with eggs that I don’t know how to explain. Or want to explain. Idk man.
