Interesting premise. I enjoy a feminist heroine but this protagonist spent far too much time harping on how she was different from other women and bemoaning how the men around her underestimated her. I get it it. Men and the patriarchy are the worst, but we probably could have stopped wasting so much narration on making the same point over and over. Also I guessed the twist ending pretty early on which made the protagonist's obliviousness frustrating.
Graphic: Death, Drug use, Gore, Misogyny, Sexism, Violence, Blood, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
