Добра идея, почти никакъв сюжет, странни и плоски герои, много (ама много) насилие. Туй то обобщаващо. Добре, че беше само 160 страници.
Disturbing, Yet Compelling
True Crime is a novel about how a young woman drawn to the true crime genre begins living true crimes of her own. It is also a story about the impact of violence, generational trauma, and how a human being may be consumed and subsumed by the worst days of their life. This novel is loaded with triggering content: child abuse, rape, animal cruelty, homicide, sexual abuse, etc. Reading this story was very off-putting, yet it was also extremely compelling. I read this book quickly and couldn’t put it down. The author’s skill is evident throughout, beautiful prose and expert pacing transform this depressing tale into something that feels profoundly human. I was frustrated this book, in many ways I felt it represented some of the worst aspects of human nature. Yet just because these characteristics are bad, does not mean they are not true. True Crime seemed to tap into something about the human experience that resonated with me, even if it was antithetical to how I strive to live me life. Pain, fear, indifference, and violence abound. Yet this ultimately a portrayal of the struggle to love and be loved. Overall I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

This was a good one. It's short...but it's a wild ride and well written. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good, short read/listen.
3 Stars - I Liked This Book
At least, I think I did? I am not entirely sure. It was dark. It was short. It was grim. And it ultimately pointed out how evil humanity can be. Which...I mean...yeah...don’t get me wrong that is true. But yikes this was GRIM even for me.

Quick dark read. It did leave information out at certain parts that you have to fill in the gaps. Overall i liked it.
