A review by sarah_
Last Woman Standing by Amy Gentry

3.0

Strangers on a Train for the #MeToo era. I liked this one okay, but didn't love it. I never quite connected with the main character, Dana, and her standup never came off as funny. The first half of the book was pretty slow, and kept me only just engaged enough to keep going, but the action and suspense really took off in the second half. The plot is twisty, but most of the twists are easy to guess. There's lots here about what women go through and how men behave towards us, and questions about how far it's okay to go for revenge. I don't particularly recommend this unless the blurb sounds really inviting to you, because I think there are better thrillers out there, but overall it was thought-provoking and attention-grabbing.

*I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
