I guess this is okay if the men really do have it coming. However, the fact that there isn’t a single decent male character in this book is a bit much. I get that the book is trying to show that, be it a stranger or someone whom you trust and think is your friend, you have to be careful (still) because predators could be anyone. But makin’ them all predators? That’s just . . . tragic and makes me feel hopeless. Why can’t we at least have one who’s an ALLY? It seems like the book is overgeneralizing. I listened to the audiobook format of this book, and it’s flawless. The book is told from dual points of view with chapters alternating between Carly and Scarlet’s perspective. The two voice actors are fantastic. They each capture the essence of the women, adding one more dimension to the story. The narrators provide male voices that distinguish them from the two main characters without bringing too much attention to them.

She’s watched helplessly as her roommate is abused by a fellow student. Can Carly muster up what it takes to seek revenge, or should I say exacting a little simple justice too? Scarlett is well-respected in her field, confident, and extremely intelligent. While others on campus remain silent about sexual assault and misconduct amongst students and faculty, Scarlett takes action and murders the men who are guilty of such crimes. Killing for her is an intense ritual that empowers, compels, and drives her. When someone starts to take a closer look at campus “suicides,” she begins to fear her crimes will be exposed.

However, as the story was coming closer to the end, I started to disconnect from the characters and to me, the writer was too extreme with her feminism propaganda. I absolutely DEVOURED this book. It was just so excellent and it hooked me completely. Boy, does Fargo know how to tell a story!! I couldn't put this book down, and I'm loathe to give anything away to avoid ruining your reading experience. The book is told in a dual perspective between the two women, who eventually have their paths intersect. There were times where I thought I had guessed what was going to happen and then it went on an entirely different path and left me wanting to read more. For me, the real horror was the way the men behaved and the scariest parts were the way the men would excuse and condone the behavior of other men, instead of securing the safety and wellbeing of the women in their lives. Layne Fargo’s They Never Learn isn’t chilling. No, it’s a sparking fuse leading to an explosion of feminist rage. This is a thriller that will prove disturbingly cathartic for female readers; too many moments will ring a familiar note for far too many. Even if you’ve never tweeted #MeToo, you know someone who has. Hear ye, hear ye! This is my second novel by Layne Fargo and I think I've found a literary soul mate in her. It's so refreshing to find an author who isn't afraid to "go there", if you know what I mean. The premise behind They Never Learn is a modern classic; feminist serial killing told in a thrilling manner. The beauty of this story is that we know who is doing the killing at the beginning of the book, but we don't truly know what led her to it until the plot unravels in the second half. I think this move was BRILLIANT on Fargo's part; we still get all the chills and thrills associated with a creepy mystery, but the book isn't an automatic let down if you figure out the killer's identity early, because that factor is taken out of the equation. I don't want to say too much, but it takes awhile for us to figure out how Scarlett and Carly's paths are mingled together, and I loved seeing how everything unfolded. If you're looking for a novel that will have you wondering whether you relating to a serial killer makes you a psychopath as well, you've come to the right place.

When Carly Schiller's roommate, Allison is sexually assaulted at a party, she too, becomes obsessed with making someone pay. Although Scarlett's chapters were definitely my favorite, Carly's are engaging too. What I liked most about They Never Learn - besides the clever title and twist that totally surprised me - was the stellar character arcs. Especially Carly. That girl needed a literal chill pill, she had so much angst and anxiety. But watching her grow and change through the book was awesome and so well written.

Tyler lies there panting, soaked through with sweat, blinking up at me as I methodically wipe all traces of my fingerprints from the device. Meanwhile, we are introduced to awkward freshman Carly, new at Gorman and aching to find a place for herself in a new community, far from the drama between her parents at home. She is immediately enchanted by her lovely roommate Allison, who imbues her with the confidence to begin to explore her sexuality. The two form a deepening connection and after Allison reveals to Carly that she is bisexual, Carly's feelings begin to blossom. However, her jealousy flares as she realizes that Allison's eyes are focused on the wrong sort of guy--which comes to fruition at a party where Allison is the unwitting victim of sexual assault. Carly is enraged and desperate to make the perpetrator pay...but how will she find a way to not just ask for, but DEMAND the justice she craves? I didn’t hate this book - but there wasn’t anything exceptional either. The Sex & steam wasn’t particularly juicy. The jealousy was a little boring. The narcissism was predictable..... We get it. It’s a radical feminist with a revenge plot meets American Psycho - take on psychological thrillers, if the author screamed it in my face it would have been less obvious.it’s a fascinating slow burn of a debut touching on obsession, competition, ambition and jealousy, with some outstanding POV work. because he’s never given an opportunity to speak for himself, the only insight we get into malcolm’s motives or behavior is through kira and joanna’s interpretive filters, which, despite the profound effects of his actions and influence on everyone, sorta reduces him to a prop, albeit a cruel, sadistic, douchey prop. Absolutely loved this revenge filled story with a strong confident female lead. It was compelling, intelligent and well written. The story telling was excellent and used 2 alternating POVs, which helped the author deliver a fabulous job of character development. We Never Learn: BOKUBEN Anime Gets 2nd Season in October".
