Yeah, I don't recommend the Gender Game at all so far haha. The first part, the author has obviously come up with a scenario where the main character needs to have committed two murders and been sentenced to death to set up the main storyline, but then she realised most people don't like murderers, so she made her accidentally kill people, in the same way, on two separate occasions. No one is that clumsy. I really rolled my eyes the second time.

um. you usually don't kill out of clumsiness. as far as I know. I'm not very well informed, though. accidents do happen, of course

About a third. By this point I'm just finishing it so I can write a scathing review.

actually this is so true
on the one hand I kind of feel back for writers getting bad reviews because writing a book is still a lot of work

but then I keep thinking that HAD I read a review like this I wouldn't have read the book and disliked it and wouldn't bee writing THIS very reviewXD

That sounds hilariously bad. I can see accidentally killing one person OR accidentally killing multiple people AT THE SAME TIME. Like, in the latest episode of the show 9-1-1 we find out that
Spoiler
this guy accidentally killed 148 people because his little space heater caught fire in his apartment building.
But to kill more than one person, by accident, and not at the same time!? Eh. I mean, maybe if you're a doctor. I guess doctors might make those kinds of life threatening mistakes more than once. But that's about it!

ok but if we agree that people can get ridiculously unlucky... both her and her victims. imagine her going "oh no not again" after her second murder! also, as long as it's got realistic consequences, I mean killing two people unintentionally would cause trauma, right?

I think you can get away with two accidents like this in a book if you try hard enough
