Alex is cold and calm, loyal and fierce -my perfect anti-heroine. And Jack who is the hotter girl’s childhood friend, who also sleeps with her even though she clearly has a boyfriend.Īll three narrators are deeply flawed but I can’t help but be drawn in with their appeal. There’s Peekay who got dumped by her boyfriend for a hotter girl in school. Alex Craft, the girl who made the bold opening chapter, is out for revenge on the person responsible for her big sister’s murder. The book is told in alternating points of view of three teenagers living in an Ohio small town. “The Female of the Species” is a pulpy YA, packed with a girl power punch hellbent on its intent to smash patriarchy. With great satisfaction, I report that the book delivered. You cannot promise me murder, then cop out. There is no going back with a strong statement as that. “This is how I kill someone.” declares the book’s opening line.
