As soon as the two women meet, an electrifying bond forms that’s always on the precipice of some deep betrayal or the loveliest intimacy. And characters like Joan - women who are animalistic, somewhat immature, and uncomfortably intelligent - are somehow still relatable regardless of the revolting things they say and do.Īfter Vic’s death, Joan sets out on a road trip from New York City to Los Angeles, where she is seeking - hunting, more accurately - a woman named Alice, to whom she has an intense but hidden connection. Recently, the loose genre of “Women Not Giving a F-k” has been near-perfected by authors like Raven Leilani and Gillian Flynn. Joan also admits that her story ends in murder, although she rejects the inevitable label of “sociopath” that she knows others will foist upon her.Īnd yet it is Joan’s depravity that makes her such an irresistible character.
