Kuniko is (was) indeed a dumb bitch. Wasn't surprised that she ended up the way she did. This was all very dark and why I don't read thrillers often (not a fan of true crime and this counts ig).. 4 stars bc it was gripping, but also that the title nicely fits its explorations into feminism & capitalism, among other systems us individuals can't seem to distentagle ourselves from.

It's taken me a month to even write this bc I clearly had to process what I just listened to. Was not expecting a violent rape to be at the end of this book but I'm so glad that Masako lived. I woulda kept listening to her story too if it kept going. Kinda wanted her to run off w the Brazilian dude, but apparently her connection w what's his name (rip?) transcended all others.

As she crawled along through the morning rush-hour traffic, she let her thoughts range over the past few months and on into the future. Was she the hunter or the hunted? Would she kill or be killed?
