Reviewed by Merle„Weird Girl Fiction“ wird hier großgeschrieben. Ein obskurer Roman über eine Frau, die Männer so objektifiziert, wie Männer es bei Frauen tun. „I could train a camera on a man and look at him like a man looks at a woman; boys, too, could be objects of desire.” Kommentare: Ein anti-girlsgirl, das soziopathische oder auch narzisstische Züge hat und darauf wartet, dass jemand sie für ihr sadistisches Verhalten zur Rechenschaft zieht.
