Little predictable on the ending.
Enjoyed the ride. Hannah wasn't the most likeable MC but she did seem kinda real and faceted. She wasn't all good, she wasn't all bad. Neither was William. The thrill of their letters was palpable to me, making me wonder if I would ever write to a serial killer, whatever pretense I used (would it be anger, like Hannah) to start the conversation?
Predicted Hannah's arc, and figured out the main plot about 70% in. Does that mean it's bad? Nah. You don't want a book that's totally nonsensical in the plot, the dots have to connect together, don't they? So that was a way to connect the dots.
Also the courtroom scenes reminded me of Red Rooms, the film about the French murderer Ludavic Chevalier. There was some of the same unsettling confusing behavior from Kelly Anne as there was with Hannah.
