First, from a technical standpoint, there were some formatting issues with the ARC copy (but that can happen). Chapter cut-offs were sometimes unclear, and there were plenty of unnecessary hyphens indicating page breaks that weren't there.

However, the story was captivating, quick-paced, and threw a pretty significant curveball that made this a binge-worthy read. As you read, you get the sense of the ante being upped, in terms of these two women doling out revenge on one another's behalf. The agreement seems uncomfortably lighthearted for one, but it isn't long before it becomes apparent that this is very real and serious for the other (who is tech-savvy, connected, and unafraid to cause chaos and harm). The fact that the protagonist is a stand-up comedian does give a bit of dark humor to the story, but this author also does a good job of bringing focus around to the harassment and assault that women commonly face on a day-to-day basis.

Dana Diaz and Amanda Dorn meet and hit it off, sharing war stories about being women in male centric jobs. Dana is an up and coming comedian and Amanda is a computer programmer. Dana confides she was actually assaulted and Amanda suggests they get revenge on the men who hurt them. Amanda will go after Dana’s attacker and Dana will go after Amanda’s. It sounds like a good idea at the time (probably why this gimmick has been used in countless books and movies), but things get murky fast. Just how much does Dana want revenge, and at what price? Gentry takes an old plot line and breathes new life into it by using the Me Too movement. Timely and shocking
