EDIT!

Now that I have discussed and really thought out about this I have more to say. I feel like the author was taking the advice of Alex. She was writing down how she felt about a certain subject. With that Scarlett (Carley) is not the hero but a woman who had a lot built up and a sense of not having control over her life. She didn't with her dad and she didn't with a lot of what happened at her college. In retrospect she is like the men in this book. She is what she supposedly hates so much.

For one she victim blamed/bashed Allison, girl she had a crush on and became instantly possessive and attached to. Not only did she let Bash go, but she killed Wes who was just a douche canoe and didn't deserve to die. And before anyone said she could have killed him later on, if she did it should have been noted in the book. No excuses.

Secondly, with Jasper and the professor that Scarlett thought assaulted the student girl. She had it WRONG. She was going to kill the wrong man. She isn't doing this to save the girls. She is doing this to feed some sort of anger pit in herself.

What do I even say about this book? I am glad I voted for it in my book club but I wasn't really going to read it until I heard how good it was. I gave it a shot and well... the concept of the story was pretty damn amazing just... ehh... the execution was off a bit. It made my head heart. I wasn't and still not a fan of Carley mostly because she started off as really... RED FLAGISH and also down the line reminded me of a younger version of myself but worse.

Scarlett though? Loved her a bit but down the line that fizzled to just a like. Loved what she did but I would have picked someone a bit better for that spot. There was a line or two that just didn't sit right with me when it came to her.

All in all the book was pretty good and a quick read. It wasn't grand as I was hearing people say but it wasn't horrible. Do I regret reading it? Nah, I think it was worth the time to do so. I have been looking for a book they held the same ideology as me with the subject. Though maybe she took a bit too far with some cases. Like towards the end she was going to kill this professor dude for what Jasper did and.... that shit isn't it. Other than that it was... A LOT. Like... there was no breather in this whole damn book. It hit you back to back.
