It’s definitely the way she contrasts the banal with the outrageous. For every emotion she presents the counterpoint.

You feel sorry for her but you don’t …. some parts seem funny others not, it’s a tale of contradictions! It’s beguiling in many ways …. she seems to do anything to protect her sister / getting the janitor fired and everything else. It kept my interest.

Ha. I’m all-in now.

It is right up our crooked little alley, not just for the macabre subject, but also for the way she layers it over the very really annoyance of younger siblings.

It is exactly that! I just picked it up with no expectation beyond ‘that’s a funny title’ (in a sick way). It’s short so even if you don’t love it, it won’t take up much more than an afternoon.

I don’t want to read your review yet, but came to see your rating and it will stay on the list!

It was a total mood read for me. Saw it at the library and thought ‘why not?’ so I had no expectations.

I bet it will be great listening! The author does such a good job of juxtaposing the ordinary with the absurd.

Yes! That’s what makes it so great. She is the perfect aggrieved older sibling, but her sister kills men?
