Last Woman Standing by Amy Gentry
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Amy Gentry for an ARC ebook copy to review. As always, an honest review from me.
I’m going to try a bit of different review format for this book review. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks!
Trigger Warning: sexual assault, domestic violence, murder
Like:
- Good representation of women in comedy
- Presents information and an opportunity to discuss different types of sexual violence
- The twists & turns are timed very well
- A high intensity thriller
- Use of up to date technology in crimes
- Main character: Dana
Love: —
Dislike:
- Revenge because of being sexually assaulted
- Most of the plot was about getting back at the men — made me feel incredibly uncomfortable
- Beginning: lots of information presented all at once and seemed forced
- The cold realization that the characters, and readers, have at the end
Wish that:
- There was a less intense way of proving the men sexually assaulted them
- We were about to explore more about Dana’s relationship with her mom and other close friend
- I could feel less uncomfortable about the main plot line, of revenge
Overall a revenge thriller that will keep you reading, but if you’re like me make you feel very uncomfortable. Well written, action packed, and interesting.
