Devoured this in less than a day, when I'm on tight deadlines!
Couldn't put it down, a real page-turner.
Seeing how sociopath Jane unfolds her plan of revenge on the hapless Stephen is riveting.
I picked all the plot twists but it didn't detract from my enjoyment at all.
Utterly readable.
This was fine. I enjoyed the revenge stuff. I wish it wasn't so heavy on the sex. I'd argue even the story itself could rely less on sexuality and be stronger for it - but at least stuff from jane's personal life might be spared. I loved her as a character, didn't enjoy her budding relationship (I hesitate to call it romance). I thought it was out of place.
[b:Jane Doe 36531070 Jane Doe Victoria Helen Stone https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1529334139s/36531070.jpg 58255707]Revenge is a dish best served ICE COLD. Enjoy Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone. This was the book that I picked up after the hit An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen and I honestly had a hard time believing that anything could keep my attention like Anonymous Girl but Jane Doe holds its own and it is a great fallow up! Jane is a Wicked and Tasty protagonist who I think I might have a lady crush on knowing how awesome she is. This book will have you cheering for the semi-evil, amoral, revenge minded protagonist, you must read Jane Doe. Jane, the female protagonist is a sociopath, or so she believes herself to be because of her horrible upbringing. The flecks of humanity come from two people her friend from college (who has committed suicide). Also, Luke who I loved in this novel. She is a book nerd who teaches herself emotions by reading and watching movies so she knows how to act. The story revolves around Jane playing a cat and mouse game with Steven, who you will think is a weak SOB. Jane plays the weak girl that needs a man. While Jane is really just making fun of him with her camera's and jokes. I devoured this book in all of two days while sick in bed, Sad thing is it's been on my kindle for over a year. Shame on me.
Instantly knew the authors views. Was not enjoyable. And, as a woman, I do not live in fear. I have a healthy dose of caution for certain areas or situations but I don't live my life in fear thinking someone going to do something bad to me. 😕
Not sure how well it would represent an antisocial person, but it was very entertaining to read. Some people might call it things like “woke” which is a good thing. Jane knows that she has to get away so that things can stay fun which makes her quite functional.
The main objective is quite pointless in all ways, but its a path that a lot of people would like to see as a hypothetical. It happened to be a hypothetical I wanted.
Oh this is so twisted and so so good! I could not stop listening to this and ended up finishing it in one day. It is brilliant!
My main problem here was her own viewpoint as a sociopath who also had room for a lot of care. I think it is a disservice to disseminate wrong psychological concepts in this fucked up world.
That aside, very satisfying revenge.
