From the author of the “raw, ingenious, and utterly fearless” (Wendy Walker, USA TODAY bestselling author) Temper comes a dynamic psychological thriller about two women who give bad men exactly what they deserve. Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor. But she’s even better at getting away with murder. Every year, she searches for the worst man at Gorman University and plots his well-deserved demise. Thanks to her meticulous planning, she’s avoided drawing attention to herself—but as she’s preparing for her biggest kill yet, the school starts probing into the growing body count on campus. Determined to keep her enemies close, Scarlett insinuates herself into the investigation and charms the woman in charge, Dr. Mina Pierce. Everything’s going according to her master plan…until she loses control with her latest victim, putting her secret life at risk of exposure. Meanwhile, Gorman student Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year. Finally free of her emotionally abusive father, all Carly wants is to focus on her studies and fade into the background. Her new roommate has other ideas. Allison Hadley is cool and confident—everything Carly wishes she could be—and the two girls quickly form an intense friendship. So when Allison is sexually assaulted at a party, Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay...and turning her fantasies about revenge into a reality. Featuring Layne Fargo’s trademark “propulsive writing style” (Kirkus Reviews) and “sinister, of the moment” (Chicago Review of Books) suspense, They Never Learn is a feminist serial killer story perfect for fans of Killing Eve and Chelsea Cain.

minor spoilers???
THIS BOOK WAS SIMPLY EVERYTHING. It was so well written and also made furious at men who do this (as if i needed any more of that in my life 😫). Scarlett is my favorite girlboss and honestly I relate to wanting to kill shitty men.
While i didn't see that twist coming, it was also not anything entirely new to me. But it still made a lot of sense. Every single man in this was awful (except Drew, my gay dad) which is realistic ig 😭
I lurveeeeeed the ending so much. My little meow meows, my precious little sapphic murder buddies 🥺🥺🥺
The entire time I was going, “AS SHE SHOULD 💅”
Nicking half a star though because at times this was kinda predictable. Still absolutely loved it.

HUGE 5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This has GOT to be my favorite book so far this year. I've heard the hype about it but honestly wasn't very interested in reading it. I saw it on Scibd and decided I'd give it a shot while I was at work and OMG I'm obsessed!!!
The story was amazing and I loved how it came together! I was wondering how both POVs had anything to do with each other so once it connected I was like YES!!
If you are able to suspend your belief a bit, you will absolutely love this book.
