Unlike many, I really have no interest in the Manson murders and it actually initially turned me off from the books (cults have always creeped me out) but once I started, I felt almost embarrassingly drawn to it all, almost like Evie with Suzanne. I'm a sucker for a story that really examines the complex inner workings of a woman, particularly a young woman, and had to continuously remind myself that she was just 14 and Suzanne was just 19. Their bond, or the perceived one that Evie felt, was what really roped me in. Definitely gonna be thinking about them and this one for quite some time.
