Read this book! Pick it up. The narrator and protagonist is one judgemental and no bs murderer. She has strong opinions on most things (which you’ll find yourself agreeing to quite a bit, much to your charging). Despite her unethical, murderous actions you’ll root hor her (and in turn question your own morals). The story is very well written and totally enjoyable to read. The narrator’s thoughts and action are appalling and you’ll go back and forth with yourself debating if they’re justified (they are not; but yet). 
Not wanting to overhype it or spoil anything- I did not see the ending coming at all- it left me slightly enraged and in disbelief!
Read it, it is fun, you’ll probably think about it for a while too. And annotating it was like going on a picnic. 
Final thoughts: I don’t condone murder, but I do stand for women’s rights.
