Killing Eve

** spoiler alert **
           I’ve never disliked a book as much as this one and I had such high hopes for it.

I pre-ordered it and couldn’t wait for its release since I really enjoyed the first two books. 
I am deeply disappointed with the outcome. I can’t tell if this book was heavily edited or not edited at all. It’s written in a rush, it doesn’t even seem to be written by the same author. Why you might ask? It seems like a book written by a 15 year old with one or other catchy sentences. It seems like a story written for a class actually. The transitions don’t make any sense, Eve starts to narrate what happened and then suddenly it’s the present and then it’s the past, and then the present and it’s just written in a way that it’s just plain boring. The following sentence doesn’t exist in this book, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was there since it was pretty similar “I went to a coffee shop with her in Paris. I then realized I loved her”. Nothing makes sense???
The characters just lost their minds and personal traits it seems, Eve is just unlikable and a really weak character, she’s boring and you don’t want to know what she’s thinking or doing. Villanelle shits in bags and farts in the bath with multiple techniques and wishes Eve a good night with “Goodnight bitch” at least 3 times. Ok, we got it, she’s a psychopath. Calm down.
The worst of it all is how the author (?) really wants to be an ally but ends up just being homophobic, transphobic and biphobic. The comments are plain rude.
Homophobia or biphobia, you tell me, when Charlie (was Lara) asks Eve “so you wake up one morning and you wanted some pussy?” trying to understand why Eve, who is supposed to be straight, would want to be with Villanelle sexually. 
As for Charlie, the “new” character - when Lara discovers they are non-binary, when this is introduced to the reader, it’s made in a very forced an unnatural way. And throughout the book the other characters are just rude with their comments towards Charlie.

I’m so agitated I want to tear this book apart.

Poor trees.
