A very cool book! But it was more enjoyable to flip through and read sections than read it cover to cover.

I really tried everybody. This book has all of the things I love (murdering men, food, unhinged women, social commentary, etc) but imo it was overwritten, beat like a dead horse, and way too long.

I can’t read this during an election year, I’m sorry. 
Also everyone in this book needs to grow up and get a personality.

I think this book is just not my taste. All vibes no plot but in a way I struggled to get into. 

Where I am? Who am I? What the fuck is going on? I barely go here.

I don’t read thrillers very often and I had a hard time getting into it. Perhaps I’ll pick it up another time. Maybe I only like thriller horror? Like it was boring? I did ditch the audiobook 11% in. Also the narrator was not working for me personally.
