Blown away by this book on so many levels I probably can’t even begin to explain very coherently just yet. Just awesome research, writing, living and working the process. A bow down in utter awe.

I loved it, very thought provoking about death penalty, human connections, female empowerment.
Tough read and it is a true crime- but other than a few parts, most of it can be very crucial to perception and how we all deal with a criminal.

I LOVE a book that makes me think and this one will stick with me for a while. I kept having to remind myself that these events actually happened. There were parts that the book was a little slow for me but over it was a great read!

Mixed thoughts on this, but I’m rounding up to 4 stars. Worth a read if the subject matter interests you, but I felt as if the pieces of the author’s memoir and the true crime element never fully clicked.

This book is disturbing but riveting. It is advertised as “a murder and a memoir.” It reads more like a memoir than true crime. The author describes deeply disturbing topics in detail. Sometimes you can catch where she is going and skip the brutal detail but most of the time she smacks you in the face with it. I loved this book and she am also relieved I am done with it. So I am simultaneously recommending and warning everyone about this book.
