It's been awhile since I had so much with a book! I'm not sure what surprised me more — that I read the whole thing in one night until 5am or that this murder-comedy freaking made me cry thanks to a particularly touching scene.

The short chapters were super bingeable and protagonist Kitty made it all the more addictive. I adore her! She's so badass but still has a touch of vulnerability that I could relate to. Her wit, humour and voice radiated through the pages.

I also love how the story doesn't take itself too seriously but yet makes critical and astute observations about rape culture, misogyny and sexual violence. It's hilarious, it's shrewd, the action is over-the-top and I relished every moment.

I have to admit there were times it all felt a bit too much and the climax felt mildly problematic + unaligned with the rest of the novel. Yet my enjoyment level was seriously off the charts.

Compulsive, thrilling and delightfully wicked, this is one book that you'll tear through!

Katy Brent's satirical look at the possible motives a female serial killer might have is eminently readable. Like Dexter meets Sex and the City, Kitty Collins is a popular Instagram influencer with a dark side. Fed up with the way men use and abuse women, she sets out to even the score...through murder. Unfortunately she has a stalker who seems to know her every move, which isn't really helpful when you're trying to avoid getting caught.

How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is a quick read, helped by short chapters and a fast paced clip. I can't say I really enjoyed the overwhelming wealth of the characters or the general vapidness of the secondary cast, and the book does take an unexpected turn at the end that had a definite chilling effect, but I found this enjoyable and compelling.
