Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

4.0

Loved this book’s departure from the whodunnit scenario into an exploration of the broken criminal justice system and the public’s fascination with killers. The recent discourse around the ethics of true crime has definitely forced me to evaluate how I think about murderers and abusers, and this book delivers that message in an extremely well-written way. The shifting perspectives keep the book from feeling long and winding and the characterization is exceptional. If I could nitpick, I was slightly disappointed by how much the good looks of each victim were discussed; yes I get they’re attractive women lol but it just didn’t feel necessary to reiterate this much? also the closing lines are not good which is sad but also ending lines are so hard
