Description
A dark, provocative, adrenaline-rush of a novel about a graduate student who murders bad men and justifies it in the name of feminism, by a bold new voice in fiction

"Might be the most-anticipated debut novel of the year thanks in part to its perfect-for-Hollywood premise."--Esquire

"A darkly comic novel about the tricky politics of race, sex, violence and love . . . the entertaining (and quietly damning) read you'll need to kick off spring."--Elle

A Most Anticipated Book of the Year: Glamour, Debutiful, Book Riot, Esquire, SheReads, Elle, Stylist

She just wants to know what justice feels like.

Yrsa is bored: bored with her PhD program, her entitled students, and the never-ending pages of racial violence and feminist theory she has to read. But most of all, she's bored with the men in her life--especially the bad ones.

And then, one sunny afternoon, she accidentally kills one.

Suddenly a problematic professor is dead, and Yrsa, well--she's no longer bored.

Emboldened, she starts to chase the high, and soon no misbehaving sexist man within commuting distance is safe.

Finally Yrsa's academic research feels useful. But how long can killing in the name of feminist and racial solidarity justify her actions? And how long until her actions--and buried family secrets--come back to unravel her?
