Love in the Time of Serial Killers
by Alicia Thompson
Okay, I enjoyed the actual heck out of this book. It was lighthearted, it was funny, it was witty, the characters and their interactions with each other are funny and felt genuine…
And I am officially obsessed Phoebe! I loved how the author saw something in the pop culture trendiness of true crime content and tapped into that and made that a part of this book because I’d made the character of Phoebe so much more relatable
The reason I’m not rating it higher is because, despite some of the tough/traumatic situations that the characters went through in their past (Phoebe’s parents’ somewhat volatile relationship and divorce and how that affected her growing up, Etc.), I felt like there could have tapped into that slightly deeper to add even more of an emotional depth. Because I did feel like, while the characters were all fun and relatable, we only got to know these characters at a surface level. It left me wanting even more out of the characters and the story.
Still, this was a fun read and I still suggest picking it up for a quick read.
