About this deal

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love feminist, bad bitch, confident intelligent women and their stories (the whole murder side of things notwithstanding) but I also like finesse and subtlety and the elegance that comes from introducing those two things into any piece of writing. The way this was written really dispelled any sense of trepidation or the suspense I would have expected in such a book. I didn’t feel the tense and ominous vibes which were to be expected from this. I also felt it was a bit predictable. I was suprised about Carly being Scarlet, but once that was revealed, i could see where the book was headed. I guessed right when it came to Wes & Jasper. But, when I tell you that this book is real life. If you read it and think there's no way actors feel this way or go to these lengths or take their job this seriously - you are mistaken. Not all actors, obviously. But there is a sub category of actors who do. It is just so healing to read about women physically conquering evil abusive men (although I do understand that any person of any gender can be an abuser). Do I condone serial killing in real life? No.... But do I celebrate women brutally murdering rapists in the various bits of media I consume? Hell yes!! We Never Learn' Anime Premieres on April 6". Anime News Network. February 24, 2019.

Two women at Gorman University, one a student, the other a professor, are united in bringing down the perpetrators of sexual assault. Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor. But she’s even better at getting away with murder. Carly is an incoming freshman at Gorman. She’s happy to be away from her abusive father and victimized mother, but college makes her nervous. She wishes she could be cool like her roommate, Allison. As the two become closer, Carly comes to Allison’s rescue when she needs her the most. That aside, I had a great time with this book! I loved the fast pace, I loved the characters, I loved hating the men, I loved how much she loved killing.The ending was like the one from the cheap tv movie that aires on Monday afternoon, disappointing and cringey. They Never Learn is a sharp, intense, and refreshing read. I loved Scarlett’s character. She is a killer, but it is easy to root for her. Her cold and calculating demeanor had me on edge. Watching how she usurps the power of those who have brutally taken the power of their victims was exhilarating. One should be horrified by Scarlett’s crimes, but given the acts her victims committed, watching them die was beyond satisfying. I’m going to stop describing the plot now because there’s so much that needs to unfold for you as you read. Suffice it to say it’s a little bit Dexter, a little bit How to Get Away with Murder, and a little bit Unbelievable, with twists all its own. I also thought, that something bad must happen between Carly and Wes. I was right even though I never expected him to be such an .... in the end.

But just as Scarlett turns her killer focus on a target closer and more personal than ever, Gorman University creates a task force to look into the spate of sudden deaths on campus. The head of the group, Dr. Mina Pierce, is an exceedingly clever—and very observant—woman. So Scarlett insinuates herself into the project to carefully turn the spotlight away from her bloody work.

They never do, men like him. Well, he’s more of a boy, really. The garage’s fluorescent overhead light emphasizes all the still-adolescent features of his face: the downy excuse for a mustache on his upper lip, the pimple swelling in the crease between his nose and his cheek. I want to start this off by saying that if you aren't an actor or have never been immersed in theatre at some point in your life, you probably won't like this book. And you definitely won't believe it.Yes, well.” The dean’s smile stiffens. “Maybe now you’ll both think twice before accepting drinks from boys you don’t know.” We root for Scarlett to escape the police and carry on her brutal work not just because she’s the primary protagonist but because in a world that consistently turns a blind eye to women’s suffering—offering nothing beyond a shrug, a sneer, or outright victim-blaming—what she does feels like divine justice. She’s the inevitable outcome of a broken system. If the guilty were properly punished in a court of law, if women could actually escape the violence that permeates every aspect of their lives, Scarlett Clark wouldn’t have to be a serial killer avenging angel. I’m settling on 4 stars for this one. Really loved the short chapters and how fast paced the story was; there was never a point where I felt bored. I think everything wrapped up nicely in the end, and I’m glad that Scarlett and Mina ended up together. I did see all the big reveals coming, (Carly being Scarlett, Jasper and Wes being villains), but that didn’t really take away from my enjoyment of the story. There was as much drama offstage as on. The combat choreography scenes were equally dramatic off-stage as on. We Never Learn: BOKUBEN Gets 2nd Video Anime Bundled With Manga's 16th Volume". Anime News Network. October 6, 2019.
