No one tells you, when you’re a kid, that choosing one thing means not choosing so many other things. Time is limited.

In a nutshell
When a 32-year old sex worker kills an extremist political hopeful, she sends off a series of emails to a popular feminist investigative podcast called justice for bimbos, explaining how she was recruited and trained for the kill. Only when she follows them up with a series of emails to her ex-girlfriend does the murkiness of the true story and her agenda begin to unravel.
Book Club Notes
Although this is a well written, fairly unpredictable and gripping(ish) read, I found it too grotesque to be categorised as a good read. There are redeeming aspects that can be pulled out of the storyline and character creation but I felt it meandered too much to a current American zeitgeist, making it read more like an agenda than a story.
