The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson
2.0
Thanks to NetGalley and Del Rey for an ARC of this title.
I gave this a sporting try but tapped out at ~40%. I was very here for the premise - it felt like this could have shades of Naomi Alderman's The Power, but it kept cranking up the ridiculousness and was getting more cartoonishly violent in a way that didn't feel suited the story. As each main character's situation began to resemble the other's, I started losing interest. This just wasn't my book.
