*I don’t rate memoirs*
I’ve seen so many documentaries and movies about Ted Bundy. I knew he had a girlfriend, and I always wondered what it was like from her perspective. I worried, “would I be able to tell if I dated someone for six years who was actively kidnapping, raping, and murdering woman across multiple states?” This book was reassuring because she went to the police multiple times with her concerns and they kept shutting her down. It was well written, thoughtful, and insightful. It’s a side of Ted Bundy that nobody but her got to see. Endlessly fascinating and beautifully told.

It's great to hear Molly's voice and interpretations of this period of her live with Bundy.
It was interest to learn about her complex and conflicting feelings during this phase of her life, especially given that there was a child involved too. Molly's forward is a very strong part of the book that sums up her current feelings after having more time to let things stew.

Honestly the girlfriend was just as crazy, when she was younger.
I am glad she put him in jail but come on he did not want to marry you that's a sign to move on.
This girl, good lord to be honest... I just could not get passed putting your child in danger and he touched her inappropriately and you did not try to stop him, or when he laid down in bed with her naked. I also did not know how the daughter did not tell her mother what was happening with Ted.
I do like how easy and short this book was. It was a decent read.

Well…
Clearly, I can never trust anyone ever again.
