How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is a tongue-in-cheek take on vigilantism. with Instagram darling and influencer Kitty Collins avenging wronged women by killing their stalkers and rapists, and feeding them through a meat grinder. She is surrounded by a circle of wealthy socialites who spend their time jetting to hot spots or preening themselves vacuously for a selfie. Kitty considers herself a step above all this, with a mission to rid the world of men who prey on women. In the midst of all this, she meets a genuinely nice guy and struggles to keep her extra-curricular activities on the QT.

I will admit to a thrill of satisfaction as I read, thinking about all the guys out there who objectify, use and mistreat women. But ultimately this novel did not quite satisfy. Kitty was as shallow as all the others in her social circle, name-dropping designer everything and indulging to excess in recreational drugs and booze. I thought perhaps her experiences, and in particular one huge mistake, would produce some soul searching and a flash of something deeper in her character. I kept hoping for a final surprise twist at the end of the book (perhaps the boyfriend wouldn't be so good after all) but it never came. It was a fun read, but I think the author could have dug deeper and made this something special.
