I would have like to have delved deeper into her character-some of Jane’s past is shared and the reader can put the pieces together about her childhood and figure out how she became what she is but I would have liked to know even more. It was nice to know from the beginning that Jane was in charge and I didn’t have to worry about her. I have to say it was refreshing to read a book told from the perspective of a female sociopath! Jane’s scathing voice kept me entertained throughout. Told through Jane’s caustic voice, this was a fun, entertaining read.

She gets a job doing data entry where Stephen works and plays the role of a meek, insecure woman to attract his attention. Jane, a highly successful attorney who lives abroad, changes her looks and persona to attract abusive douchebag, Stephen.
