seriously blew me away. an insight into small town communities, tumblr in the mid 2010s, dark corners of the internet, childhood trauma, and the tension and toxicity betwen teenage girls, all filtered through a quite meta criticism of true crime storytelling. gave me some quite strong flashbacks. i want to eat it.

A real biting look at the true crime industry though, it definitely made its point and packs a punch.

It shows you just how decentralized the victims of crimes become and how the truth gets warped for fandom and "the (re)views" through the sensationalization of crime.

Did you listen to a podcast? Did the hosts make jokes? Do you have a dark sense of humour? Did that make it okay? Or were they sensitive about it? Did they coo in the right places? Did they give you a content warning? Did you skip ahead? Did you see pictures? Did you look for them?
I’ve never read a true crime book before but I imagine this is how it would be (although this is obviously fiction). I did get ever so slightly bored at times, but everything adds up to play a role in the bigger picture. I do wish that I understood more about the Brexit implications, but that’s a me thing, not the author. I’ll probably think about this book for the rest of my life.
