This book is fairly absurdist and honestly, that's what I liked about it most. But I do think it could've done with some more polishing. While Kitty's character was pretty fleshed out, all other characters in the book were fairly one dimensional. The dialogue suffered a bit because of that. The ending felt kind of rushed and the identity of The Creep was kinda easy to figure out even before the halfway mark.

But! I enjoyed the feminine rage (as far as that can be enjoyable) and in the end this was a fun quick read that I didn't feel I had to slog through at all. I think a lot of women have had the urge to do what Kitty did throughout the book, especially after reading so so so many #metoo stories that haven't stopped bombarding us since we started speaking up.

Tldr: flawed, but nicely indulging revenge fantasy comes to pass in a quick witted story about feminine rage.

3.5* but rounding it up
