It was interesting and I enjoyed it but ???? A little one note I think??
This was a lot of fun! Nothing too obvious with where it was going, loved pips family dynamics and ravi is a cutie
To be fair to Karin Slaughter, she's real good at making me love a character in one chapter which I think is pretty impressive
I really really liked this book, the mixture of thriller, horror, fantasy, 10/10
Aight so, imma preface this by saying I can completely understand someone not vibing with this book as much as I did, but as someone who spent their formative years in the trenches of Tumblr??? This book called to my very SOUL.
I adored Boy Parts so when I heard the concept for this book I was already stoked, and it really delivers. Also ??? Clark's writing is so effortlessly funny? Like?? Imagine having to come up with a fake Tumblr name and picking "HarambeVengence" 10/10
TL;DR - a really interesting look into true crime and how dehumanising it can be to the victims involved, but also so much more than that ahhhh I loved this book and can't get all my thoughts out properly :')

This was ??? So frank? Honest?? Genuinely moving?? I knew v v little about Harriet going into this book, and her vulnerability in it is breathtaking frankly, and I'm so so glad she wrote it??
So the basis of this book was really interesting, but idk man, I find it really difficult to express what made me not love it?
Part of it I think is the use of statistics, a number would be quoted but it wouldn't ever go much deeper into that to then look at other factors which mightve caused the same thing? There's a part of me that thinks you could've picked one area to focus on, like health for example, and then *really* delved into it rather than what seemed like a very surface level rant for most of the book?? And don't get me wrong, I agree with what the book is saying, there's a gap in data for women, and specifically women of colour, and that really needs addressing. But yeah, as a lot of other people have said too this is a very hetronormative/cisgendered look at it too which I understand why, there's almost certainly an even bigger data gap for non heterosexual/cisgendered people, but also ??? A section dedicated to explaining that would be nice??
