I am wholeheartedly convinced that the phrase ‘I support women’s rights and wrongs’ is about this book. This short yet punchy novel introduces an unforgettably deranged female protagonist who you can’t help but like due to her Fleabag-esque quips and unapologetically feral behaviour.
I cannot recommend listening to the audiobook more - it is such a twistedly enjoyable romp that would be perfect for November in much the same way that the Nightmare Before Christmas suits that weird limbo month between spooky and festive periods.
As immensely readable and evocative as this book was, I can’t fail to see why it has been picked up so quickly to be a film. It is truly made to be adapted. I can only hope that the film manages to deliver the same sadistic and sardonic tone that this book excels at.
