Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

Okay. So this wasn’t exactly “𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈“ or “𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈“ in the way you would get about a crime thriller book. But it was in the way of true love life quarrels. I can’t even begin to explain how easily I related to Phoebe. She’s rude as all hell, sarcastic and blunt; but she’s scared of a committed relationship to anyone or anything. Love is not in her vocabulary, until it is.

The only thing I didn’t like, was Phoebes dissertation. I was so stressed out reading about that part, it doesn’t ever go away and it was like a cloud of endless school work that I, myself couldn’t get away from.

Kudos to the cat, Lenore! Love that cat.

The relationship between her and Sam was just so real. Her personality mixed with his, her standoffishness until she realizes what she truly wants. Her character growth is something to watch. Going back to her childhood home helps her see things from the past as her present awareness. Great character building.

🩸 I really, freaking loved this book!!
