I really really enjoyed this book, and I was even more excited to learn that it was based on a historical event. (How do we not learn about someone that terrorized NYC for like decades??) I was just in love with Marion, and omg I hated her father so bad.
Also! Omg that her sister died!! The trauma!!!!
I'm excited to read more by this author; I feel like her research was really intentional. And I really appreciate that.
