In early 2020 I think is when true crime pods really became about, then it wasn’t til a couple years later people went “hey this isn’t great” and now I agree. Having people retell peoples deaths or the worst part of their lives for entertainment is really disturbing.
Clearly the author pokes fun at My favorite murder and how chippy and happy they are to recount actual gruesome murders and then being sponsored in between stories. Because in then end, this massacre becomes media, I knew this was true but to see it come full circle and play out is kinda eye opening.

This book took awhile for me because it was just a lot. It was a lot emotionally and the writing was the kind of writing that demanded my full attention, so while I read this I couldn't be around people or multitasking. it had to just be me and Mary. I'm glad I took my time, and I'm glad I experienced it this way, and a couple of times I felt chills go down my spine at certain horror elements that I will not disclose here. I enjoyed the themes all throughout and wrote down a bunch of quotes in my journal. The afterword is also required reading for anyone who is brave enough to get to the end.
My main critique is that there were some scenes that really dragged and I think that if they had the fat trimmed off of them, they'd be more effective and the book wouldn't need to be as long.

I know the undertone of this book is misogyny. It felt like the author was mansplaining misogyny to me.
Main character was annoying. To the point where I didn’t want to experience the book with her anymore.
