I loved the writing style, it went back and forth in the timeline, but it never felt arbitrary. The plot and character development were cohesively entwined, in my opinion.
I personally do not enjoy unnecessary descriptions and slow pace, but all the descriptions and pace of the book felt intentional and helped with the ambiance. I couldn’t put this book down and I would definitely reread.
Additionally, even though I could see where the story was going and where the characters were most likely headed, they never made me roll my eyes as I found it relatable.
As a true crime follower, this book felt like an homage to the victims and a hopeful outlook to the way women live in a world that constantly makes us feel victimized.
