So in theory this could have been an interesting and kind of tongue-in-cheek revenge story. I wasn't expecting to love it, and I certainly wasn't expecting to see every single twist and turn coming along the way, but I had hoped to enjoy it more than I did. Ultimately this is a book that doesn't say much and muddles up what it is trying to say in the first place. I am in no way "not all men"-ing over here, but the fact that every single male character besides the queer ones are just the absolutely worst is... a little much. I get the point of this book, that even the men we think we can trust are not always the people we want them to be, but I felt it got a little too up in its own ass about it. The result is a book that does what so many thrillers do which is try to be Gone Girl but entirely miss the point of what Flynn did. This book isn't fun, it isn't smart, it isn't even well plotted or put together. I cannot believe a story that boils down to being about a bi sexual murderer killing men who deserves it could be such a yawn fest but HERE WE ARE.

P.S. when I started this review it was a solid 2.5 but as I put my thoughts down I realized it didn't even deserve that.
