Overall Thoughts:
⁕ When reading the description of this book, I imaged a Kill-Bill-type revenge plot with a badass female MC. Instead, it focuses WAAAY more on the traumas of Joan’s past than any action she takes to seek retribution. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the resulting story, but it is NOT what was advertised.

⁕ There was a lot of potential to explore relationship dynamics, abuse, power, and control. BUT - these themes were often overshadowed by excessive use of violence for shock value, with little room for reflection or deeper exploration in the text.

⁕ I do think the audiobook narration was a massive success for Emma Roberts. The character of Joan is outside of her usual type cast and she succeeded in creating a gritty, dark experience for the reader.
