Chapter 43 Summary

After killing Holly and Robin, Millicent and the narrator started looking up potential women to kill online, then describing potential murder methods as an “aphrodisiac.”

The narrator takes Jenna to taekwondo, which she decides she does not like. He takes her to Krav Maga. She hits a boy with a rock. Some parents call the police, who do not arrest anyone, but Jenna is not allowed to come back to Krav Maga class. She tells the narrator she just wanted to see if she could do it. She did hit him, but she barely cut his lip, which the narrator secretly thinks would not be that helpful if she were facing a real serial killer.

Chapter 44 Summary
