I never want to read a book written in second person ever again. Holy shit. That was painful. Read 2 chapters, that's what the rest of the chapters are like. NOTHING HAPPENS. The way it's written looking back on her experience as a letter to her ex lover/abuser doesn't leave the reader any room for interpretation. This is a book that tells you, but doesn't show you, so much is off-page. Someone compared it to Addie LaRue in that every chapter is THE SAME and I FELT THAT. Education in Malice was perfection, most people like this book better and I have no freakin' idea how we read the same book. I think a lot of people are blinded by the pretty lyrical prose (like Addie LaRue) but even that got to the point of being cringy and overdone.
