Carly was really giving 2012 fanfiction main character with her “i’m not like other girls, no one would find plain old me attractive, i only wear black and Doc Martens” and it was annoying. the first major twist was good but i guessed the later one right away, so after

the halfway mark

the story felt predictable

They [Men] want us to bend and bend, let them say and do whatever they want to us. They get away with it, over and over again.

It is so satisfying to read a serial killer killing awful men.
