This book is full of sharp, incisive commentary on class, white feminism, internalized misogyny, true crime culture, and the justice system. It's humorous in the dark way a book like this would be, and has a lot to say. Like any book with a lot to say, especially one playing in this space, I was wary all the way up until the end, because these books so often whiff it right at the end. I don't think this book whiffs it. I also don't think this book entirely lands the ending. Something about it felt like it got distracted by the oooooo isn't it weird and fucked up? of it all and forgot everything else it was doing. And look, I am not against a "oooo isn't it weird and fucked up?" book or ending, that's what I cracked this book open expecting! But experiencing all this interesting commentary and then landing in this odd place where it doesn't quite feel like the main character has learned...anything or absorbed anything, did knock my rating down.
