Any true crime aficionado that does not want explicit gory details of the crimes, but wants to know a little more background of the day-to-day life of Ted Bundy and his relationships, will really love this book. American culture has a morbid fascination with serial killers and this book is a memoir/journal-style, written by the long-time girlfriend of Ted Bundy, Elizabeth.
How could she not see or accept it that Ted was a narcissist, liar, cheater, serial rapist and murderer? Hindsight is 20/20. Denial is a real thing and the brain wants to see what it wants to see, but ultimately trust your gut! Despite the lust, the juxtaposition of the desire for a sexual revolution and single motherhood, suave explanations by Ted, and alcohol-abuse, Elizabeth deep down knew something was wrong with Ted and kept going to police. It is baffling how one moment he plays a doting father figure, another he is an absolute monster. My heart breaks for Elizabeth, but especially for her daughter Molly.
If I read the version of the book written in 1981, I may have been frustrated with the ending. Despite being brutally honest about herself, she was struggling with still being in love with Ted and you can tell that in the writing. The revised and expanded edition with a prologue from Elizabeth and a contribution from Molly…beautifully paints more of a whole picture, once the author comes full circle and more healed.
