This was ok but I didn't love it.
It was written with wry humor but the narrator read it super seriously so it felt weirdly depressing. Also, nothing actually happens. There's a premise of the sister being a serial killer and the protagonist cleaning up after her. But it's really just describing that, and not anything else. I was confused at the end that there were very few actual plot points. I suppose it's a focus on the character herself but she doesn't grow or act at all during the entire book, just reacts to her sister. It's quite unfortunate and sad.
