For those considering reading this book, it is so much more than a whodunit by forcing the reader to reflect on how much has changed since the 1990s and how our words and actions can unintentionally impact others in a major way.
I Have Some Questions For You is so much of our moment yet reflective without being nostalgic. My only quibble is with the title. I found it difficult to remember and while by the end of the book, I understood its intention more fully, I think it does the book a disservice in trying to get it out into the world.

I'm also really skeptical about the true crime entertainment industry, so this book's take on the genre was incredibly refreshing. The author's frequent references to real life cases, and her deliberate choice to not name perpetrators and instead center the experiences of both victims and survivors was fantastic. This book left me angry at the injustice of the justice system and the microagressions that eventually lead to violence against women and people of colour.
Overall, it was an insightful take on true crime as a form of entertainment, and my only real critique was that the ending left me somewhat wanting.
