The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich

challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

3.5

It's hard to find the right words to describe this book. Is it depressing or hopeful? Disturbing or insightful? At points, it is all of these. The story is so raw & chalked full of emotions it makes it difficult at points to continue on. The author does a fantastic job weaving the narrative of two stories together but it is a tough pill to swallow. Details that are so disturbing I'm not sure I'll be able to think of certain things the same way ever again. Read with caution but boy are you in for one shocking ride if you do!
