She's a Killer by Kirsten McDougall
3.0

She’s a killer is a story follows near genius Alice who lives in the same home as her mother, the two communicate to each other via Morse code. Alice has an imaginary friend named Simp who is constantly playing the devils advocate in Alice’s mind. Alice hasn’t seen Simp since she was 7 years old and a fire destroyed her family home, she worries if Simp has something more sinister planned this time around…

Alice meets a man named Pablo, a wealthy man who has fled to New Zealand as means for survival, who she thinks is going to change her life. But then she meets Pablo’s 15 year old daughter who is an actual genius and Alice begins to question her own intelligence. 


This book is described as being a mix of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Killing Eve and that could not be more accurate. This story will keep you on your toes and surprise you in ways you weren’t expecting at every turn. It is extreme it is in your face. It’s abrasive but in a really fun and entertaining way. I overall really enjoyed this story and the radical thoughts and actions within it. I do feel the ending was a bit rushed and I wish that was fleshed out a bit more!
