Idk I was expecting more about how they were actually friends and how she was actually tricked and came to see through it, not “Ted Bundy was a genius and mentally ill” idk

This book made me feel so sick and conflicted, mostly about the death penalty. It's rare that I find a book that really makes me feel the intricacies of emotions of every single character, and this has given me way too much to think about. I wish I could have removed myself from the emotional side of things by pretending this was fiction, but no, at every turn I had to remember that there are people sick and messed up enough to do these things to completely innocent people, and to never give victims and their families a sense of peace even after they have, seemingly, confessed and died.

Interesting perspective on a side of Ted Bundy not typically covered. 

I enjoyed this book but found it a little hard to keep up with names and dates on the audio version. 

A lot of the court/legal aspect was covered in this book which could be a bit dull sometimes. I was hoping to read more about the crimes themselves.
