The only reason I took so long to finish this was because I ran out of hours on Spotify, and it was so good I very nearly bought the audiobook just to be able to listen to the last hour immediately.
It goes without saying that the content is niche, and if you don’t have an interest in true crime it isn’t for you. However, even as a consumer of true crime media I had no idea about Bundy’s story from Rule’s perspective and how remarkable it is.
The combination of their accidental relationship and Rule’s brilliant writing delivers a gripping story from beginning to end.
I know this is considered the ultimate true crime novel and I’m late to the game, and I have to admit it’s taken me so long to get to because I didn’t believe it could actually be that good. However, for once, I was wrong.

Heard about this book on a podcast and was expecting it to be more of an in-depth, super personal, book about Bundy - but also about Rule. I didn't find her interactions with Bundy to be particularly meaningful or even very personal? She was friends with him for years, but the conversations and interactions described in the book felt superficial and like they skimmed the surface.
Aside from that - I thought it was a quick read, well researched and reported. It just didn't feel like an "inside story" to me.

This is a really good book, and I think the point is to acknowledge and show that serial killers can be people who seem normal or even great. It’s especially interesting for me to read this right now, since I just read Devils Knot and they’re both in-depth examples of trials and courts.

I thought it was interesting perspective on how well serial killers can seem normal. My only issue was it was a bit long once all of the afterwards were added on.
