Though this story had challenging topics, it was a great read. I normally do not read this genre of stories so it was a nice change to what I typically read ; it was a fresh and necessary perspective that I enjoyed.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

I appreciated that this book wanted to focus on a serial killer from the perspective of the women who survived and at the end, the victims and what their lives could’ve looked like. I liked the use of flashbacks to focus on both the survivors, victims, and the perpetrator. Overall I felt like it was well written.

What an interesting perspective to look at the lives of the ones who personally knew the serial killer. Felt a little draggy at some parts but overall amazing read

This book was okay. I loved the idea of it and the format but it really dragged during Saffy’s chapters and it felt like a chore to finish. It was incredibly slow and not a lot happened.
