3.75/5

What I liked
- the first half
- female rage
- works great on audiobook (a little claustrophobic & intense and lots of triggers about school shootings)
- discussions about gun violence, vigilante justice, the patriarchy. I think it’s a book that’s perfect for the current political climate in the US (post 2024 election) when lots of people are enraged and feel betrayed by politicians
- this is a great book to read with trusted friends that will certainly stimulate lots of discussions

What didn’t work for me
- the idea behind the book is better than the execution itself imo
- the first half has a lot of unbelievable moments and I def thought the book was going to a different direction. But the author tries to make the ending wrap up too neatly and that really threw me off. The story ended being in an awkward middle where I wanted either the first half to make more sense or the second half to really push the readers into uncomfortable territory
- and maybe I’m just being a narcissist but I had a theory about how the book would end and that didn’t happen and I think my version is better
