How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie

Here is a reminder not to buy a book because of its cover and catchy title. Ugh, this book has a promise it did not deliver.

The first few chapters were exciting and actually made me laugh. Her plans and manipulations before executing the crime thrilled me. Her snipes about class, society, men, and influencers were witty at first but soon felt so long-winded that you could skim over a few pages and you would not miss anything.

And that twist at the end was annoying.

This was terribly sad. Medea suffered because of the God's ploy on Jason's heroic quest. Didnt know Aphrodite influenced her to fall in love with Jason. If she didn't im pretty sure Medea would have found her own way to escape her own father and pave her way to happiness.

It was more philosophical than I expected. The musings about the trial is very thought provoking.
