Nothing Can Hurt You by Nicola Maye Goldberg
5.0
Nothing Can Hurt You is about the murder of Sara Morgan, told uniquely through multiple POV chapters by the people affected by Sara's life, before and after her murder.
I have not read anything like this book before and I was surprised how easy to read this book was, I finished it in one sitting. Even though every chapter is written from a new character's perspective, it only takes a couple of words to become invested in the new protagonist's story. The narrative is told in a non-linear format, turning into a spattering of voices. Nicola Maye Goldberg commentates on our society’s obsession over serial killers and murderers, whereas the victims are normally forgotten. As well as gendered violence is not an abnormality but a fixture in daily life.
