ARC Review: How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy Brent

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Release date: June 13, 2023

Rating: 4/5

Kitty Collins is a social media influencer by day and accidental serial killer by night. She didn’t intend to kill the guy who followed her from the nightclub. It just…happened. That’s how her murderous streak begins. From then on, Kitty takes on the role of women’s saviour and goes on a rampage, killing other terrible men that come her way.

Kitty’s social life and influencer career are so ridiculous that they come across as satirical. For example, the way Kitty so blithely mentions that her girlfriends each have different types of eating disorders, as if this is all quite normal for rich women. Veganism is also proselytized, but it’s done in an ironic way because Kitty cares more about the lives of animals than the lives of men. What’s even funnier is the real reason why Kitty is vegan LOL (iykyk).

If you enjoy dark humour/black comedy like me, then this book is right up your alley. It’s a quick, funny, and dark read with satirical elements that made me snort with laughter. There is also some interesting social commentary weaved into Kitty’s vigilantism, but I wouldn’t take that too seriously. Just enjoy the black comedy for what it is.
